My dog has an appointment in the morning to be castrated, will it still be happening?

[AccidentsAhoy]

I've got a female dog and she's due her first season soon and need to get him done ASAP 😩

Sorry my male is due tomorrow

My vet has cancelled all routine stuff and is only dealing with emergencies. I suggest you ring them. Mine is a big concern/vet hospital, but they have got so many people off self isolating they are running on a skeleton staff. My dog was due routine vacs, but they are postponed. They have send the flea treatment and wormer by post, so that's something.

It's a pity they didn't give Boris the snip first.

I rang today and they said it was going ahead but obviously habent spoken to them since latest announcement.

You leave your house once a day for exercise or to buy essential items.

Your dog's castration isn't essential.

Any unnecessary social contact will spread a virus that is killing people.

Why is this so hard to understand?

I bet the dog is thanking boris 😁

Why is this so hard to understand?

Why is it so hard to answer someone's questioning without all the posturing?

My dog is at the kennels, I need to ring them in the morning

@MintySpud

Do you have any useful point to make?

Well it is essential to my dog. It's essential medical procedure. I don't want my dogs fighting. Or getting pregnant at 6 months which will result in several vet visits for termination of the pups and I will still have to get him neutered.

It's hard to understand because it's vague. Don't be rude.

No

The vets I work at are still doing neutering until DEFRA says we cant. Its preventative treatment.

Sorry. We are a farm vets aswell. I meant RCVS and BVA. Defra is a whole other load of headache.

I would say that a neutering is going to save you a lot of future vet trips so I would go ahead.

The sun says Vets are exempt from closing so it's implying its up to a vet to cancel non emergency treatment.

"Well it is essential to my dog."

What a spoilt and selfish country we have become.

My dog is booked in for 3 ops this year - all at 2/3 monthly intervals. If she doesn’t have the next one it means we have to start the process from the beginning - hardly fair on her or us. At £2500 per surgery. I’ve asked for clarification at the beginning of last week but not heard.

We're going to be removing the stitches from our cat's ear ourselves tomorrow

How is it selfish to ensure my puppy doesn't have to go through pregnancy at a young age?

How could I have possibly predicted this would happen when I got her?

In fairness I as a non pet owner can see that the OP is trying to be a responsible owner and stave off a lot of future stress for her animals.

What a spoilt and selfish country we have become.

You're throwing adjectives around in lieu of an actual argument.

I've got a female dog and she's due her first season soon and need to get him done ASAP 😩

I bet he's hoping it's cancelled!

You will just have to make sure the dogs are kept apart.
