Nothing is removed when an animal is spayed. They have their fallopian tubes cut and/or tied because they are female. Male animals however, are neutered by having their testicles removed.

Not sure where Rachel lives...In North America and most of Europe spaying involves the removal of the ovaries and the uterus. In some parts of Europe they just remove the ovaries. Occasionally in some places the fallopian tubes only are ligated. This is not really much use in providing any health benefits such as reduction of maamry tumours or pyometra, but it does stop unwanted puppies. Matt Nicol Veterinarian

Can you reverse a neutered dog?

Spaying of female dogs involves surgical removal of the ovaries, and uterus, to ensure that no unwanted pups are had.Because these organs are removed, it means that they can not be put back at a later date.So no, spaying can not be reversed.No. When a dog is spayed, the uterus and ovaries are completely removed from her body. It is the same operation that in women is called a complete hysterectomy. Since her reproductive organs are removed, she can no longer have puppies, and there is no way to get those organs back.Being spayed is generally much healthier for the dog.

Can spayed female dogs still have a period?

no. Dogs don't have a period they have a cycle If your female dog has had an operation for desexing purposes she does not have a cycle at all . when you have your female dog desexed your vet will make sure that all her reproductive system can no longer function to have a cycle, if your female dog is having a cycle and you have had the operation done by a vet then I would take her back to the vet because Spaying, or desexing, is the term applied to the operation in which the ovaries and uterus are removed from the female dog . The object of spaying is to stop the bitch from coming on heat and reproducing, so if she is still having a cycle then shes not desexed most dogs will have a little scare on their belly from the operation I hope this answer your Question.

Is there a chance a female dog can get pregnant right after spaying?

Once the ovaries and uterus have been removed from a female dog, it is impossible for her to get pregnant. If a bitch 'believed' to have been spayed does get pregnant, it must then become obvious that the dog was never spayed.
