ABOUT CASTRATION<\/h2>

Castration is a routine procedure and is the surgical removal of the reproductive organs of the animal.<\/p>
Castration not only prevents the birth of<\/span><\/p>unwanted puppies, but also <\/span>reduces<\/span> the risk of many diseases.<\/span>A castrated dog is healthier and lives longer.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Microchipping<\/h2>

Microchipping is a simple, safe and quick procedure that can easily help you find the owner of a lost or stolen dog. In Bulgaria, microchipping of pet dogs has been mandatory by law since 2008. If your dog is not microchipped, we will implant a chip before proceeding with neutering.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Rabies vaccination<\/h2>

By law, your dog must be vaccinated against rabies. If your pet has already been vaccinated, please bring the passport with you, in which the vaccination is applied. The rabies sticker alone is not sufficient. Please note that the rabies vaccination is only valid if the dog is microchipped. If your pet does not have a microchip and\/or has not been vaccinated against rabies, we will give it a vaccine together with the microchip before we proceed with the neutering.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Dog owners<\/h2>

Please leave your dog in the car while you check in and fill out all the paperwork. Before bringing your dog to the clinic, make sure he has had time to use the bathroom. This will make your pet feel more relaxed. All dogs must be kept ON A LEAD.

    \r\n \t
  • Neutering is a surgical procedure from which most pets recover quickly and without complications.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Pets are discharged home on the day of surgery between 4:30 PM and 5:30 PM. Your pet will be recovering from anesthesia the night after surgery, so they should be kept in a safe, temperature-controlled area.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • All animals are given an injection of pain medication on the day of surgery. You will receive additional medication free of charge, which you must give for a period of 3 days after surgery according to the schedule determined by the veterinarian who discharged the animal.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • DO NOT give your dog human medications such as aspirin, nurofen, paracetamol or aulin. They are very dangerous for your pet and can lead to death.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • For 24 hours after surgery, your pet may have a decreased appetite or you may see vomiting or diarrhea. This is normal for patients after surgery and should subside by the next day.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Activity should be kept to a minimum for 7 to 10 days after surgery to reduce complications.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Some pets will be prone to licking the surgical sutures, which can cause infections. If you think your pet will lick the surgical wound or you cannot monitor him closely, you should purchase a collar to prevent licking.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Do not bathe your dog or allow him to swim for 10 to 14 days.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • A small amount of discharge for 2-3 days after surgery is normal. Swelling of the scrotum (no larger than its pre-castration size) should also be expected.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Female dogs may have some swelling and bruising at the incision site. Any other signs are NOT normal, so please let us know so we can recheck or prescribe medication if necessary.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • All sutures are absorbable and do not require removal.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
