Female neutering experiences ?

[Orbies03]

So our muffin has been to the vet today who thinks it’s a infection with her reproductive area. She’s on antibiotics for next 5 days to see if that can clear it. But if it doesn’t our only other option is neutering her but apparently it’s really high risk and not often a good outcome. I don’t know if it’s worth trying that or just letting her go but only a month ago did we have to let go our first herd member because she had 9 lumps of cancer. any experiences ?

I've had a few sows spayed, all with good results. It is important to use a vet who has a lot of experience with this type of surgery. Hopefully the antibiotics will work and surgery won't be necessary.

I agree.
I have had sows spayed and all has been fine.
As @furryfriends (TEAS) said, an experienced vet is I'm.
Hoe the antibiotics work.

I've had 8 sows spayed in total now, all did extremely well. Make sure you find a vet who is a good surgeon, be wary of those who have low success rates, that isn't normal, it shows inexperience or improper post operative care by either the team or owner who hadn't been given correct post op advice. While surgery is higher risk in small furries than cats and dogs, it shouldn't be massively so.
