Sterilization can reduce hormone levels, thus reducing the risk of breast cancer in bitches. According to the research, the probability of developing breast tumor in unsterilized bitches is 3.5 times higher than that in sterilized bitches. Therefore, sterilization can help bitches stay away from this common disease and improve their life expectancy.
2, easy to get fat after sterilization
After sterilization, the hormone level of female dogs decreased and their metabolism slowed down. If the owner doesn't control diet and exercise, the bitch will get fat easily. This will increase the risk of obesity and related diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, neutered bitches need to control their diet and exercise properly to maintain a healthy weight.
3, easy to suffer from urinary incontinence
Sterilization may damage the sphincter of bitch or urethral sphincter, leading to urinary incontinence. This is because sphincter is an important muscle to control urination. If it is damaged, the urine outflow cannot be completely controlled. Urinary incontinence may be temporary or long-term. If the bitch has urinary incontinence, she should consult a veterinarian or provide animal medical services for treatment as soon as possible.
4. May suffer from other diseases.
Although sterilization can reduce the incidence of breast cancer, some studies have shown that sterilization may also increase the risk of other diseases in bitches. For example, the possibility of a sterilized bitch suffering from urinary tract infection, cholecystitis, liver disease, arthritis, tumor, etc. Will also increase. Therefore, the owner should take the bitch to check regularly to find and treat various diseases in time.
