為你解構:貓狗絕育的7大疑問!

絕育是毛孩成長中的必要事項,而主人可能會有很多疑問:一定要絕育嗎?絕育手術有什麼風險?女仔絕育是不是比男仔麻煩?還有其他問題,我們都能為你解惑!

什麼是絕育?

絕育是透過手術使毛孩失去繁殖能力。絕育除了有助生育控制,對毛孩的健康也有不少好處。

毛孩絕育7大疑問

1. 一定要絕育嗎?

「我可以保證不讓牠繁殖。可以不絕育嗎?」
從獸醫的角度來看,絕育的益處遠大於壞處。就算主人確保毛孩不會繁殖,並承諾提供最好的照顧,絕育對毛孩的健康和生活品質依然有多重的正面影響。

絕育有助改善情緒與行為
許多未絕育的貓狗會因為性荷爾蒙的影響而產生壓力,繼而出現攻擊、過度吠叫、尿標記以及焦躁不安等負面行為。
以貓貓為例,絕育後的雄性貓會有較少的衝動去遊蕩及打鬥,而雌性將不會經歷發情期。絕育有助控制荷爾蒙水平,能夠改善生活質素,令牠們情緒更穩定、更少焦慮,生活更平靜。

2. 「女仔絕育係咪複雜啲?」

因應不同的生殖器官,手術的複雜程度亦有所不同。雄性絕育會將睪丸切除,而雌性絕育會把子宮和卵巢完全取出,這就需要開腹處理—因此相對於男仔,女仔的手術通常會稍微麻煩一點。

3. 手術有多痛?毛孩會痛苦嗎?

絕育手術期間會進行麻醉,而術後的疼痛程度則視乎毛孩的體型、手術複雜程度、獸醫技術及術後照護等多種因素而定。個別毛孩術後痛感較輕微,而其他毛孩則可能感受較強烈。你的獸醫會因應個別情況,為你的毛孩處方合適的止痛藥物和術後照護方案。

「點知獸醫手勢好唔好?」
在判斷獸醫的技術水平時,許多主人傾向以傷口外觀為主要考慮。在比較不同選擇的時候,他們會把「傷口細」、「不流血」、「不用拆線」(即使用吸收縫線)等因素視為獸醫「技術好」的表現。

然而,絕育手術有很多專業考量,傷口大小不是唯一更非最重要的標準:

  • 傷口細不等於復原快:傷口細不直接等於手術時間短或復原快。傷口大小與復原速度、拆線時間(一般約兩個星期)關係不大。
  • 安全優先,外觀為次:獸醫會根據毛孩的體型與身體狀況,選擇最合適的切口方式與縫合技術,目的是確保手術安全、傷口穩定。與「外觀」相比,傷口的處理方式與術後照護更為重要。
  • 切口細是結果,而非目標:當然,獸醫亦會盡量使用最細的切口,讓動物更舒服、更易復原,避免重複就診。然而,傷口細是在合適的條件及技術下的結果,而非手術的主要目標。

追求細切口的風險
如果過度追求細小的傷口,可能會影響手術操作,例如在結紮血管時看不清楚,反而有機會增加出血風險。

什麼時間需要較大切口?
在某些情況下,獸醫可能需要較大切口,以確保手術安全進行:

  • 性別與體型:母犬或體型較大的貓狗。
  • 身體狀況:動物脂肪多、組織厚。
  • 結構因素:例如卵巢位置較深或拉著卵巢的韌帶較緊。
  • 疾病狀況:若有子宮發炎(子宮蓄膿)等情況。

4. 毛孩年紀較大,還可以絕育嗎?

即使貓狗已經四五歲,甚至七八歲,仍然可以進行絕育。

年齡考量與性別差異
雄性:絕育的迫切性相對較低,除非出現行為或前列腺相關問題。
雌性:不論年齡都建議絕育,因為年齡越大,罹患荷爾蒙相關疾病(如子宮蓄膿)的風險就越高,而這些疾病可能致命。

絕育的最佳時機
事實上,五個月大的貓貓已經有繁殖能力;但何時才是毛孩絕育的最佳時機,應向獸醫諮詢。

5. 絕育後需要特別照顧嗎?會不會影響日常生活?

絕育後的毛孩確實需要特別照顧,例如:

  • 保持傷口乾淨
  • 戴上伊莉莎白圈(頭套)
    頭套有助防止毛孩舔咬傷口,通常需要佩戴兩到三個星期,男生佩帶的時間可能較短。
  • 持續觀察毛孩的復原狀況

食慾下降、活動減少、嗜睡、舔傷口都是因疼痛產生的正常反應,不必過度憂心。
若毛孩持續哀鳴、完全拒絕進食,甚至呼吸急促、心跳加快,或在你觸碰傷口範圍時反應過激,請立即聯繫獸醫。

6. 絕育手術有什麼風險?

和所有手術一樣,絕育手術和麻醉也存在風險——這亦是主人最擔心的問題。

術前評估
獸醫會為毛孩進行術前評估,以降低麻醉及手術風險,其中包括進行血檢(術前驗血)、聽診、X光等檢查。

術前驗血,確保安全
這是確保手術麻醉安全進行的重要步驟。
麻醉藥物需要透過肝臟和腎臟等重要器官來分解然後排出體外。如果這些重要器官的功能已經受損——即使只是喪失約 25% 的功能,而毛孩尚未表現出任何病徵—麻醉就可能會導致嚴重的併發症,例如腎衰竭。因此,術前驗血是必要一環。

不適合絕育的個案
對於患有長期疾病或先天性疾病(例如心臟病或腎衰竭)的貓狗,麻醉風險會很高,這時你需要與獸醫商討並權衡絕育的利弊。

7. 毛孩會否覺得我傷害了牠?

有些主人擔心為毛孩絕育會令牠傷心,覺得自己傷害了牠。

事實上,動物不像人類,牠們不會以「完整性別」的概念去感受自己的身體。絕育後,由於消除了荷爾蒙帶來的壓力與焦躁情緒,只要術後照護妥當,毛孩康復後就會和以前一樣活潑健康,也不會因此而討厭主人。
