Continued from last week
We have arrived at the point where we may discuss the final and most reliable method of birth control – the spay.
Spaying
The technical term for spaying is ovariohysterectomy. If that long word were to be broken up and translated, it would literally mean ‘removing the ovaries and the womb.’ Obviously, it is the most effective method of ensuring that the female dog does not get pregnant, simply because the uterus (or womb) is removed. In fact, the bitch will not even come in heat, since the ovaries would also have been taken out during the surgery. The fallopian tubes (oviducts) are also excised during the spay.
Some people have heard that when a female is spayed she becomes fat or lethargic.
