Random information on the term “Spay”:
Neutering, from the Latin neuter (‘of neither sex’),[1] is the removal of an animal’s reproductive organ, either all of it or a considerably large part. “Neutering” is often used incorrectly to refer only to male animals, but the term actually applies to both sexes. The male-specific term is castration, while spaying is usually reserved for female animals. Colloquially, both terms are often referred to as fixing.[2] In male horses, castrating is referred to as gelding. Modern veterinary practice tends to use the term de-sexing.
Neutering is the most common method for the sterilization of animals. Humane societies, animal shelters, and rescue groups urge pet owners to have their pets neutered to prevent the births of unwanted litters, which contribute to the overpopulation of unwanted animals in the rescue system. Many countries require that all adopted cats and dogs be sterilized before going to their new homes.
In female animals, spaying (more technically termed ovo-hysterectomy or ovariohysterectomy) involves abdominal surgery to remove the ovaries and uterus (in humans, this is called a hystero-oophorectomy). Another option is to remove only the ovaries (oophorectomy), which is mainly done in cats and young dogs. Another, less commonly performed method is an “ovary-sparing spay”[3] in which the uterus is removed but one (or both) ovaries are left. Traditional spaying (removal of uterus and ovaries) is performed commonly on household pets (such as cats and dogs), as a method of birth control. It is performed less commonly on livestock, as a method of birth control or for other reasons. In mares, these other reasons include behavior modification.[4]A complete ovariohysterectomy may involve removal of the ovaries, uterus, oviducts, and uterine horns.
