Koda came in for a check-up yesterday after delivering 13 puppies since 5am 🐶🐾

Her diligent owners wanted to be sure she was finished labouring, given she wasn’t showing any further signs — and an x-ray confirmed there was still one puppy to go! After medications to strengthen contractions, Koda delivered puppy number 14 right in the consult room, squeaking and healthy 💛

Mum and babies are all doing well, and the family could head home knowing labour was complete.

And For the Boys….
Previously it was recommended to desex male dogs at around 6 months old to help reduce male behaviours and health issues such as:
- Marking territory
- Aggressive behaviours
- Wandering/escaping (looking for females)
- Prostatic disease and cancers
- Testicular and other testosterone related cancers

However, as with females, recent research shows that early desexing can cause:
- Increased risks of joint disease (eg cruciate ligament and hip and elbow dysplasia) particularly in larger dogs
- Increase in some types of cancer
- Increased risk of spinal disease in some breeds

There is also an alternative to surgical castration - an implant which blocks the production of testosterone and lasts 6 or 12 months as a temporary measure is now available.

Speak to us about the right decision for your pet - every breed and situation is different!

Here is Bruce (aka Boocey), Dr Laura’s dog after his castration. Completely carefree about his procedure and recovery, he welcomed an excuse to spend the day at the clinic 🦮

To Spay or not to Spay - that is the question.....

Historically, recommendations have been to desex dogs at around 6 months of age, and for good reasons:
- Desexing females before their first heat reduces risk of mammary tumours (breast cancer)
- Eliminates risk of pyometra (uterine infections)
- Eliminates the stress and mess of female dogs coming on heat for 3 weeks every 6 months (cats a lot more often!)
- Prevents unwanted litters
- Reduces hormonal aggression

However, recent research shows that early desexing can have disadvantages in some breeds:
- Increased risks of joint disease (eg cruciate ligament and hip and elbow dysplasia) particularly in larger dogs
- Increase in some types of cancer
- Increased risk of spinal disease in some breeds

Speak to us about the right decision for your pet - every breed and situation is different!

Stay tuned for male dogs next week!

Our vet nurse Chelsea, qualified with a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, was with Miss Lacey every step of the way today — from admission, through anaesthetic monitoring, into recovery, and all the way to discharge home with her owner 🐾💛

Desexing: Routine vs Emergency — the difference matters 🚨

These two photos show uteruses from dogs of a similar size.

On the LEFT: a normal uterus, removed during a routine desexing procedure.
On the RIGHT: a uterus affected by pyometra — a severe, life-threatening infection filled with pus.

Same organ. Very different situation.

➡️ A routine desexing is planned and controlled.
➡️ Pyometra surgery is an emergency — with higher risks, a sicker patient, and often a more complex and costly procedure.

Dogs with pyometra are frequently already unwell, which increases the risks associated with anaesthesia and recovery. There is also a risk of the uterus rupturing, which can lead to infection in the abdomen.

Desexing prevents pyometra completely.
It’s a simple step that can avoid a serious emergency.
