Untreated canine scrotal inflammation can be sterilized

Canine scrotal inflammation cannot be sterilized. The inflammation in dogs may be caused by various diseases, and it is necessary to distinguish whether the inflammation is physiological or pathological. Generally, physiological inflammation may be caused by dogs being afraid in unfamiliar environments or resisting violently. In this case, sterilization can be performed normally, and later proper inflammation care should be provided. If the inflammation in dogs is caused by other diseases, it is better to cure them first before considering surgery, otherwise the condition of the dog may worsen after surgery.

Treatment of scrotal inflammation

When a dog has scrotal inflammation, the first thing the owner should do is put an Elizabeth collar on the dog to prevent it from licking the affected area. Because the affected area is very painful, the dog's temper may become a bit irritable during this period. The owner should clean the affected area daily, disinfect it with iodine, and go to the hospital to inject antibiotics. Or purchase antibiotics and itching drugs to apply to the affected area. If the condition is severe, surgical resection is recommended.

Preparation for sterilization

Dogs should be fasting and water-deprived for 8-10 hours before sterilization. This is because during anesthesia, if there are contents in the stomach, it can easily lead to the contents vomiting and choking into the trachea, causing suffocation. Secondly, prepare a suitable Elizabeth collar for the dog in advance. If the dog is a female, it is recommended to buy special sterilization clothes that can protect the wound well.

Sterilization precautions

After the sterilization surgery, the dog should be observed in the hospital for a period of time. If an unexpected situation occurs, hospitalization is necessary. The dog can eat a small amount of food three hours after the operation. The wound will heal completely in about 10 days, during which time it cannot get wet. The dog should wear an Elizabeth collar to prevent it from licking the wound. Limit excessive exercise, climbing stairs, and overeating. If the wound opens up or blood oozes out, go to the hospital for a follow-up visit.
