Podcasts about spaying

My guest is Dr. Karolina Westlund, Ph.D., a professor of ethology at the University of Stockholm and an expert in animal emotions and behavior who uses science-based methods to improve the lives of animals in human care. We discuss the often overlooked needs of domesticated animals—primarily dogs and cats—and the things we can do to improve their well-being and our relationship with them. We cover how to interpret animal body language, the unique needs of specific dog breeds, and the needs of cats and birds. We also discuss the pros and cons of spaying and neutering and how weaning age impacts a pet's attachment style. Whether you're a pet owner, trainer, or simply an animal lover, this episode teaches you how specific pet behaviors are rooted in their immutable biology—and the simple things you can do to vastly improve your pets' health and well-being, as well as your relationship with them.

The Director of Clare Animal Welfare claims people should take advantage of their spay and neuter campaign for the health benefits it will give their pets. Spaying and neutering can help prevent cancers in animals along with reducing aggressive behaviours. The campaign is also being ran to help those are struggling with the costs involved in neutering their pets. Director and Treasurer of Clare Animal Welfare, Stiofán MacGabhann, says the scheme provides an affordable chance for a person to neuter their pet, which comes with many health benefits.

The World Small Animal Veterinary Association has just issued new guidelines on spaying and neutering. As the ISPCA Spayaware campaign is launched for 2024, the message on the importance of neutering for pets is adapting to new information: the bottom line is TALK TO YOUR VET about what's best for your pet.

Cancer in dogs, the warning signs Cancer is a heart-breaking condition that affects too many people around the world. Unfortunately, it also impacts our beloved canine companions. As a dog owner, it's very important to be aware of some of the signs of cancer in dogs – just as it's essential to take heart from the fact that treatments for this disease are improving all the time. Let's take a closer look… Cancer in dogs Unfortunately, cancer is one of the most common illnesses in dogs. 50% of all dogs over the age of 10 are expected to be diagnosed with some form of cancer. This means that recognizing the warning signs is even more important when you have an aging hound on your hands. By being vigilant, and providing age-appropriate exercise, a nutritious diet, and mental stimulation, you're giving your dog the best shot at a long, active, and healthy life. The most common types of dog cancer Dogs and humans can actually develop the same forms of cancer. This list isn't exhaustive, but it should give you a rough idea of the types of cancer that often affect our canine companions: Skin cancer Blood cancer Bone cancer Cancers of the immune system – such as lymphoma Abdominal cancers Cancer of the uterus Mammary (breast) cancer – mainly found in female dogs Testicular cancer Anal cancer The causes of canine cancer The causes of cancer are complex, and that applies to both humans and dogs. For this reason, there isn't one definite cause. Cancer can be triggered by genetics, age, nutrition, and environmental factors. Fortunately, animal experts agree that canine cancer isn't caused by things like bumps and scrapes. Here's a look at some of the common causes of canine cancer: 1. Genetics As with humans, genes that cause cancer can be inherited. This means if your dog's parents developed cancer, your dog is at higher risk. Certain dog breeds are also more generically prone to certain illnesses, including cancer. Golden Retrievers, Boxers, and Rottweilers are considered at higher risk of developing cancer (and specific types of cancer) than other breeds, 2. Carcinogens Carcinogens are harmful substances or features of the environment that can cause cancer. They include second-hand smoke, insecticides used in agriculture, certain viruses, air pollution, and UV rays from the sun. Researchers have found that sun exposure is a significant factor in developing squamous cell carcinoma, a cancerous tumor that can be seen in almost every single domesticated pet breed. Animals with white fur or markings are more likely to develop this form of cancer. 3. Age Sadly, cancer is one of the leading causes of death in dogs over the age of 10, with 50% of older dogs developing the disease and approximately one in four dogs passing from it. However, the reasons for this are largely speculated. 4. The environment In humans, most cancers are related to environmental factors. This can include their diet, their exposure to UV light and various chemicals, and more. The same is likely true for canine cancer, too. Reducing your dog's exposure to environmental hazards – like smoke – is important in reducing their risk of developing cancer. What could help prevent your dog from getting cancer? One thing you could consider is spaying and neutering. Spaying or neutering your dog could prevent ovarian and testicular cancers from developing. Studies have also shown that spaying a female dog before her first or second heat may also help to reduce the risk of breast cancer developing. You should talk to your veterinarian about the best time for your dog to be spayed or neutered, according to their breed. Keeping your dog's mouth clean and healthy may also reduce the risk of oral cancer. As well as trying to reduce your dog's risk of cancer, you should educate yourself on the warning signs, so your veterinarian can catch and treat it early. What are the warning signs of cancer in dogs? Unfortunately, our four-pawed friends can't tell us when something's wrong. We need to be on the lookout for the warning signs of cancer and other diseases. The earlier it can be caught and treated, the better the outcomes tend to be. If you notice one or more of these potential warning signs, reach out to your veterinarian: 1. Tumors, lumps, or unusual growths Tumors are some of the most obvious signs of cancer, but not all tumors are cancerous. There are actually two types: Malignant tumors. This type is cancerous. They grow very quickly and spread around the bodily easily. Benign tumors. This type is not cancerous. They typically grow very slowly and don't tend to spread around the body. Usually, benign tumors are harmless. Problems only occur if the tumor gets in the way of other body parts or organs. You should also be on the lookout for swollen lymph nodes. Fortunately, they don't cause pain, but they can be a sign of lymphoma – which is a form of cancer commonly found in breeds like Golden Retrievers. Any unusual lumps or bumps on your dog should be examined by your vet – especially if their size, shape, or appearance changes. 2. Wounds that won't heal Just like with humans, any small wounds and lesions your dog gets should heal over time. If a wound doesn't seem to be healing – e.g., if you don't see signs of it scabbing over, or hair re-growing – you should contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. This can be a sign of cancer. 3. Abnormal bleeding Bleeding is a red flag in general. But it's especially concerning if you notice bloody eye discharge or bleeding from the nose – as this is a common sign of eye and skin cancers. Unusual bleeding from your dog's mouth is often the first sign of an oral tumor. It's important to be extra vigilant for these, since they often go undetected. Many owners believe bad breath and discharge from their dogs' mouths are a normal part of aging. But they're actually signs of a health problem, and you should always get your dog checked out by a veterinarian if you notice these signs. 4. Lameness If your dog starts limping, slowing down, or putting more weight on a certain limb, this could be an early sign of bone cancer – although it could also just be a sign of joint stiffness. To be on the safe side, arrange for a checkup with your veterinarian if you notice any issues with your dog's movement. 5. Sudden weight loss or gain Weight loss is frequently seen in dogs with cancer. Similarly, sudden weight gain in dogs can also be a sign of canine cancer. If you see any sudden changes in your dog's weight you should contact your veterinarian right away. 6. Lethargy and lack of enthusiasm to exercise As dogs get older, they naturally slow down and lose energy. It's an unfortunate fact, but there are things you can do to help them keep their energy levels and mobility up. Extreme lethargy, or a sudden, unexplained lack of energy, however, can be a sign of various conditions, including cancer. If your dog suddenly loses interest in going for walks, stops greeting you at the door, or doesn't want to play with their favorite toy, these are all red flags to investigate. Other warning signs include your dog sleeping too much or taking longer to respond to noises or commands. 7. Unusual bowel movements If you've had your dog for years, you probably know what's normal and what's not when it comes to their toilet habits. Unusual stool can be the first sign of many different illnesses. Take a look at this guide to find out what your dog's poo tells you. In particular, you should be on the lookout for bloody or black, tarry stools, or diarrhea – these are often a sign of ulcers, but can sometimes indicate mast cell tumors. What to do if your pet is showing warning signs If you spot any signs that your dog might have cancer, it's extremely important to contact your veterinarian straight away. They'll be able to run a number of tests including X-rays, ultrasounds, and blood tests, to figure out what's wrong. Early detection greatly helps your dog's chances of beating cancer. It can also make a major difference in treating various other issues that your dog may be dealing with. The good news? There's no two ways about it, a cancer diagnosis is heartbreaking. But it doesn't mean you should have to live in fear. Every single year, dogs are living longer and longer – which just goes to show how far pet care and veterinary medicine have advanced. In fact, nowadays there are more options than ever. Treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are readily available. And, as we mentioned before, early detection greatly improves your dog's chances of living a long, happy, healthy, and active life. Think your dog is showing any of these common signs of cancer? It's best to get in touch with your vet. And, if you're not doing so already, annual visits to the vet are essential.

This episode discusses the risks and benefits of spaying and neutering dogs. Studies have shown that we need to make some changes. It is often advocated to sterilize dogs to protect them from cancer. However, it turns out the opposite is true. A study published at UC Davis in 2013, titled Long-Term Health Effects of Neutering Dogs: Comparison of Labrador Retrievers with Golden Retrievers found that sterilization of Golden Retrievers before six months of age increases their risk of joint diseases later in life by 400% to 500% percent! Similarly, for Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherds (separate UC Davis study in 2015) by 300%. These are alarming numbers.

What is more exciting than cat repro? Did you know that cats are inflatable?

In this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, we welcome Jayne Sage, Founder and current Board President of the Street Cat Hub. Serving the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico and the surrounding areas, Street Cat Hub provides humane spay and neuter services for homeless cats in these communities. Jayne recalls how she started the organization in 2014 as a follow-up to a program conducted by another animal welfare organization that partnered with city shelters in providing spay and neuter to feral cats. Jayne also shares details about Street Cat Hub's upcoming initiatives, such as their clinic and their partnership with the local shelter. Their organization finds it easier to provide services for feral cats when they are connected to the shelter. She also shares the common misconceptions on stray cats, especially when they need to adjust to a new environment before they can be comfortable in a new home. Some people often think that when stray cats become comfortable in a specific environment, they can easily adjust anywhere else. Street Cat Hub is looking forward to reaching out to communities to provide their services for cats in more places. They provide services to 3,000 to 4,000 cats annually and they help roaming cats find suitable homes. “One of the best things in working directly with a shelter is it's really easy to find the cats.” - Jayne Sage Tune in to learn how you can partner with a local shelter if you have the desire to help cats in your community!
