Vasectomy, Ovarian Sparing Spay, Non-Surgical, or Not at All? The Current Evidence

Free Webinar brought to you by Virbac Animal Health

Speaker
Dr. Stuart Mason

Start Date
October 14, 2020

Summary

Has the one-sized fits all rule of: ‘desex all non-breeding animals at 6 months’ been thrown out the window? There is increased discussion amongst our clients regarding the reasons for desexing, the side effects of desexing, and potential benefits and risks of leaving animals entire. By evaluating current evidence, this lecture will allow Veterinarians to provide the best advice to their clients around when, if and how to ‘sterilise’ their pets.

When is it?
