Desexing
Desexing is a routine day surgery that requires a general anaesthetic, with pets being admitted the morning of the surgery and generally going home late afternoon. For female dogs and cats, desexing involves the removal of the ovaries and the uterus (ovariohysterectomy) through a small incision made on the abdomen. For male dogs, it involves the removal of both testicles through an incision just in front of the scrotum (for dogs) or two incisions made on the scrotum (for cats). During surgery a tattoo will be placed on the inside of the left ear as an indicator your pet has been desexed

From the 1st of July 2018 it is required in South Australia that all dogs and cats born after this date are desexed, unless owned by a registered breeder. Vets may however grant a temporary exemption, if they believe that desexing will pose an undue risk to the health of the dog or cat or adversely affecting the growth, development or wellbeing of the dog or cat.
