Dr. Kraemer’s List of Medical Reasons to Consider When Facing the Neutering Dilemma
#1 🩺BULLDOG NEUTERING TO PREVENT PROSTATE DISEASE:
Neutering can help prevent or reduce prostate diseases influenced by the male hormone testosterone, such as
- Prostate hyperplasia (enlargement of the prostate)
- Prostatitis (infection of the prostate).
-Complications from those conditions include urinary incontinence and difficulty defecating.
#2 🩺BULLDOG NEUTERING TO PREVENT TESTICULAR CANCER:
Common testicular tumors like
- Seminomas
- Sertoli cell tumors
-can be avoided by neutering. While these tumors are often benign, they can lead to conditions like feminization (e.g., enlarged breasts) in male dogs.
Neutering is essential for bulldogs with undescended testicles, as they are more susceptible to developing these tumors.
#3 🩺BULLDOG NEUTERING TO PREVENT URETHRAL PROLAPSE:
Urethral prolapse is characterized by significant bleeding that is challenging to control and often requires a surgical procedure. It is a condition almost unique to bulldogs.
Neutering can help reduce the risk of this distressing bloody condition.
