SPAY & NEUTER

The benefits of spaying or neutering your pet goes far beyond reducing the burden of animal overpopulation.

Spay (Ovariohysterectomy) and Neuter (Castration) are surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia to remove your pets reproductive organs (ovaries and uterus in females, testicles in males). Spay and neuter are considered part of your pets wellness care and are scheduled for established patients. Timing of spay/neuter will be discussed upon visit to ensure procedure is done at appropriate time in line with your pets personal

LOVE SPAY

LOVE spay is short for Laparoscopic OVE (ovariectomy). With this technique , 2-3 small incisions are made into the abdomen and laparoscopic equipment is used to perform the procedure. Rock Lake Veterinary Care is the only veterinary clinic in Central WV that offers LOVE spays.

WHY LOVE SPAY?

Laparoscopic spays are 65% less painful than a traditional spay. This means a faster recovery and less trauma to the patient.
Activity restriction is only recommended for the first 2-3 days vs 7-10 days with a traditional spay.
