What are the requirements to know that my companion animal is fit to undergo surgery?Your cat/dog should be 100% healthy and have up to date vaccination. If your cat/dog is two (2) years old and below we recommend for them to have their CBC taken to ensure that they are healthy and fit to undergo surgery. CBC is mandatory for Dogs regardless of their age. If they are three (3) years old and above, small breed regardless of the weight, brachycephalic, XL dog breeds, Mixed Breed, or have had a past illness, we recommend CBC with blood chemistry (Critical Care). CBC - Php 500 CBC with Critical Care - Php 2800 Blood tests can be done at our neuter clinic on the day of your companion animal’s spay/neuter appointment. In the event that their blood work results with abnormalities, their spay/neuter surgery will be canceled and we will endorse you to our hospital for check-up and treatment. Upon completion of their treatment, you can then reschedule their spay/neuter appointment. Blood tests can also be done at a different clinic. Please note that CBC and Blood Chemistry results are only valid for 2 days.

How can I prepare my cat/dog for their kapon appointment?Two weeks before your companion animal’s spay/neuter appointment, it would be best to monitor their health and behavior. Things to watch out for are eye and nose discharge, sneezing, coughing, stool, and urination. If your companion animal has any prior illness or is recovering from a recent illness it would be best to have their blood test done before their surgery. For senior pets, small breeds regardless of the weight, brachycephalic breeds, XL dog breeds, and mixed breeds, it would be best to have them checked by a vet to ensure that they're fit to undergo surgery.

-
Enclosures and carriersPlease use safe and secure carriers when transporting your companion animal/s from your home to our clinic. Travel itself is stressful for them so it’s best to make their carriers as comfortable as possible. Please avoid using boxes, bird cages, or large containers with few holes. Failure to use a proper cage/carrier will lead to cancellation of your appointment.
-
Pregnant Animal CompanionsThe treatment will be more difficult if your animal companion is pregnant; therefore, the additional Php 500 for spay abort is required. Since the surgery is more invasive, even if you use an injectable long-acting antibiotic for your cat, you will still need a prescription for an antibiotic to support it. Since having them undergo spay-abort is risky enough, we will cancel their appointment if your animal companion is severely pregnant or full term.
-
I already pre-registered online. Do I need to register again on site?Yes. The pre-registration is done to reserve a slot for your companion. The on site registration is done so you can be assigned a number and a name tag.
-
What are the benefits of spay and neuter?Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50% of dogs and 90% of cats. Spaying your cat/dog before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems. It stabilizes the stray animal population and lessens the number of animals that can become potential carriers of rabies.
-
My cat/dog is in heat. Is it okay to have them spayed/neutered?Yes. It is safe to spay or neuter a cat or dog in heat.
-
What if my companion animal just gave birth?For newly birthed mothers it is best to wait 1 to 2 months or until she stops nursing her kittens/puppies. The birthing process left her uterus fragile.
-
Can I put my cat/dog in the same carrier?It would be best to separate them to prevent them from licking each other’s wounds that might cause their stitches to come off and re-open. If you have multiple pets in a big carrier/cage please make sure that they'll be able to lie down properly after their surgery.
-
How long is my cat/dog going to be unsteady after the surgery?Your cat/dog may remain unsteady or groggy for about 2 to 6 hours after administering the general anesthesia. Cage rest is recommended to prevent them from walking and falling over and also from running and jumping that can cause their wounds to re-open. Failing to follow after care and guidelines may result to infection or re-opening of the wound.
-
How can I take care of my cat/dog after surgery?It is recommended to place an Elizabeth Collar (E-collar) around their neck to prevent them from licking and biting their wounds which could cause their wounds to re-open. If you did not get the injectable antibiotic for your cat, you will have to give them oral medication twice a day for 7 days after the surgery. Medication will be prescribed upon pick up along with the aftercare and guidelines. Wound care is simple, you don’t have to put anything on their wound to help it heal faster.
-
Vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and trouble urinating and defecatingThese are normal for 1 to 2 days after the surgery. If all these continue for more than two days it would be best to bring them to our clinic right away. Urine retention is normal and is usually a sign of pain along with constipation. Please give them the prescribed pain reliever.
-
What if my companion animal’s wound starts to swell?If swelling and any kind of discharge is visible it would be best to bring your companion animal back to our clinic for observation and assessment.
-
Why do I need to fast my cat/dog for 6-8 hours before surgery?Companion animals must be fasted prior to surgery to prevent them from vomiting to avoid choking which may lead to complications and sudden death. Also, the effect of the anesthesia will be decreased when a patient has a full stomach. Strictly no food and water.
-
At what age can I have my companion animal spayed/neutered?Cats can be sterilized at the age of 6 months (and should weigh at least 2.5 kgs), and dogs at the age of 6 months. For male animals, they can be castrated when both of the balls have fully descended; if they reach 6 months and both of their balls have not yet fully descended, their surgery will more likely be an inguinal or abdominal castration. -Inguinal Castration (inguinal castration is done when the balls of the dog have not fully descended and are stuck inside his groin) Cats - Php 1000 Dogs - Php 2500 -Abdominal Castration (abdominal castration is done when the balls of the dog have not fully descended and are stuck inside his abdomen) Cats - Php 2000 Dogs - Php 3500
