Castration bitch

Castration bitch

Castration of female dogs and sterilization of female dogs are two different surgical procedures. While sterilization only involves cutting the fallopian tubes and thus preventing fertilization, castration involves removing the ovaries and sometimes also the uterus. Castration therefore not only has the effect of infertility, but also affects the bitch's hormonal balance.

There are medical reasons for spaying a dog, such as preventing certain diseases or complications related to the reproductive system. It can also help with certain behavioral problems, although the effect varies from dog to dog.

Hereditary diseases in cats

Hereditary diseases in cats

Cats are loved and valued as pets. However, each breed has its individual requirements and needs that cat owners need to take into account. In addition, certain breeds are at risk of inherited diseases. Hereditary diseases in cats are diseases or susceptibilities to diseases that are inherited due to genetic mutations. These follow different inheritance patterns and are associated with different probabilities of inheritance, recurrence and disease. Depending on this, they can break out in the offspring or they can simply be carriers of the modified genes and pass them on. There are autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant, gonosomal and mitochondrial inheritance patterns. Genetic testing and breed-specific screening programs can provide clarity.
