There are several types of hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is removal of uterus. Total hysterectomy is uterus and cervix. Additionally the fallopian tubes (salpingo) and ovaries (oopherectomy) may be removed so, a total hysterectomy with unilateral(one) or bilateral (both) salpingo oopherectomy would be all the reproductive organs apart from the vagina. Radical hysterectomy also removes lymph nodes when cancer has spread beyond the fallopian tubes.

What is a fixed goat doe?
A doe that has been spayed, ie had an ovariohysterectomy. The doe can no longer have kids as the reproductive organs have been removed.
How long do the stitches stay in after spaying?
After an ovariohysterectomy (spay), the abdominal sutures should remain in place a minimum of 14 days (two weeks). This allows the underlying tissues to heal so that when the sutures are removed, the abdominal wall remains closed.
What does a female cats privets look like when fixed?
The external genitalia of the cat will look the same after it is fixed (or "spayed", some call it). When a female cat gets fixed, the veterinarian performs a surgery called an ovariohysterectomy where she/he will remove the ovaries and uterus of the cat, preventing her from getting pregnant or going into heat. I hope that helps! :)
What area is an animal patients hair clipped and its skin scrubbed in preparation for surgery?
Wherever the surgical field will be, plus about a centimeter on each border. For a typical abdominal surgery in cats and dogs (such as spaying or ovariohysterectomy), the surgical field is the xyphoid (end of the sternum) to the pubis (hip bone on the stomach) and laterally to the flank folds.
Does a spayed female dog have a hymen?
The hymen is a structure found in the human vagina; it is a remnant of the fusion between the internal reproductive organs and the involution of the external surface to create an opening. This structure is generally not found in dogs whether she has been spayed or not. The spay surgery (an ovariohysterectomy) would have very little impact on a hymen, since the vagina is not manipulated during the surgery.
Can spayed dogs reproduce?
No. When they are spayed, all reproductive organs are removed.
Are girls ever castrated?
Human women often undergo a procedure called "Tubal Ligation" where the fallopian tubes are severed and tied to prevent egg cells from entering the uterus. It would be the equivalent of a vasectomy in men (which leaves the testes). An Ovariectomy will remove the ovaries, and be essentially the female equivalent of castration. It is usually only done as a treatment of disease, or as part of a hysterectomy, again done due to pathology. Hysterectomies can be also be done to spare the ovaries, and help maintain hormonal balance. Female Cats and Dogs are often Spayed (Ovariohysterectomy), removing the female sex organs, again the female form of castration.
Will spayed kittens get lazy?
Some of them do, some of them don't. Spaying has slightly different effects on different individuals. Some people have said their cats stayed just the same, while others have said their cats gained a lot of weight and became very lazy. Most cats will have to eat less because their metabolism is lower. So if you plan on getting your pet spayed, you might want to give them less food afterwards. If you are worried about your cat getting fat and lazy, try asking your vet to give your cat a hysterectomy (partial spay) instead of a ovariohysterectomy (full spay). Studies have shown that it will prevent a cat's metabolism from changing, although some vets will not perform this surgery because they don't know how to.
How do cats get pregnant?
By mating. Similar to the way humans do. If your cat is an outdoor/indoor cat and hasn't been neutered/spayed, then they'll almost always find a mate; even if you don't know of another cat of the opposite gender in the area.
What happens when a cat is spayed?
First, you can't spay a male cat - the proper term for a spay operation is ovariohysterectomy [removal of the ovaries and uterus], and male cats don't have these structures. Males are neutered or castrated, during which the scrotum is plucked free of hairs, surgically opened and the testicles are removed. The vas deferens on each side is tied closed and the testicular vessels are ligated. Generally the surgical incisions are left open to allow for drainage of any inflammatory fluid; they heal up just fine in the vast majority of cases.
Can female dogs bleed after they have been spayed?
Understanding Canine Spaying: Addressing Post-Surgery Considerations Spaying, or ovariohysterectomy, is a common surgical procedure performed on female dogs to prevent unwanted pregnancies and provide various health benefits. While bleeding is expected during the surgery itself, it's important to address whether female dogs can experience bleeding after the spaying procedure has been completed. Normal Post-Spaying Expectations: Surgical Bleeding: During the spaying procedure, the veterinarian will carefully remove the uterus and ovaries. Some surgical bleeding is expected at this stage, but the veterinarian takes measures to control and minimize it. Post-Operative Monitoring: After the surgery, the veterinary team monitors the dog for any signs of excessive bleeding. The incision site is typically closed with sutures or surgical staples to facilitate healing and minimize the risk of post-operative bleeding. Abnormal Bleeding After Spaying: Immediate Post-Surgery Period: It's not typical for female dogs to experience significant bleeding once the surgery is completed and the incision site is closed. If you notice excessive bleeding immediately after the surgery, it's crucial to contact your veterinarian promptly. Delayed or Persistent Bleeding: In some rare cases, delayed or persistent bleeding after the spaying procedure may occur. This could be a result of issues with blood clotting, suture complications, or other factors. Any signs of abnormal bleeding, such as continuous oozing or a sudden increase in bleeding, warrant immediate veterinary attention. Post-Spay Care: What to Watch For: Monitoring Incision Site: Keep a close eye on the incision site for any signs of abnormal discharge, swelling, or irritation. While a small amount of redness and mild swelling are normal, excessive bleeding or other concerning changes should be reported to your veterinarian. Activity Restriction: Follow your veterinarian's instructions regarding post-operative care, including limiting your dog's activity during the recovery period. Excessive activity can potentially disrupt the healing process. Scheduled Follow-Up Visits: Attend any scheduled follow-up visits with your veterinarian to ensure proper healing and address any concerns promptly. Conclusion: Proactive Care for Post-Spaying Well-Being: In conclusion, while it is not common for female dogs to experience significant bleeding after being spayed, it's crucial to be vigilant and proactive in monitoring your dog's post-operative well-being. Following your veterinarian's instructions, scheduling follow-up visits, and promptly addressing any concerns contribute to a smooth recovery process for your furry companion.
How do un spay a dog?
For the boy dogs they cut open the balls and cut an opening in the scrotal sac and remove the testicles.Dogs (and cats) should be brought to a veterinarian, who will be able to professionally complete the procedure.A veterinarian neuters a dog through a castration surgery. The dog is placed under general anesthesia and the abdomen in front of the scrotum is prepped for surgery - shaved, cleaned and sanitized. The testicles are manually advanced out of the scrotum and a single incision is made in the abdomen through which the testicle is "popped out" of. The blood vessels to the testicle are ligated (tied shut with suture) and the testicle is cut off. The same process is repeated for the other testicle, then the abdomen is carefully sutured back together.Once the skin is sutured closed, the dog is removed from general anesthesia and typically given some long-acting pain medication either IV or into the muscle. A vet tech or the veterinarian will observe the dog as he recovers from general anesthesia and wakes up, both to ensure there are no problems and to make sure the residual pain is being adequately addressed.You can generally expect to get several day's worth of oral pain medications for your dog, as well as instructions to keep your dog's activity level down for the next couple of weeks while the incision heals. In 10-14 days, the vet will have you come back for a suture removal visit - the vet will pull the sutures out and make sure the area has healed appropriately.
