SPAYING Meaning and
Definition
-
Spaying is a surgical procedure conducted on female animals, especially cats and dogs, in which their reproductive organs, namely the ovaries and uterus, are removed. This procedure, also known as an ovariohysterectomy, is usually performed by a trained veterinarian under general anesthesia.
The purpose of spaying is primarily to sterilize the female animal, preventing unwanted pregnancies and the birth of offspring. It is a responsible practice to control the overpopulation of animals and reduce the number of homeless and abandoned pets. Additionally, spaying can also provide several health benefits such as eliminating or reducing the risk of certain reproductive disorders including uterine infections (pyometra) and mammary gland tumors, which have the potential to be malignant.
During the spaying procedure, an incision is made in the abdomen, through which the veterinarian removes the ovaries and uterus. The incision is then closed with sutures. Following the surgery, the animal requires proper post-operative care, including rest, pain management medications, and monitoring of the incision site.
Spaying is a routine practice recommended for female animals that are not intended for breeding purposes. It helps improve the quality of life for both the animal and its owner by preventing unwanted pregnancies and reducing the risk of certain health issues.

Etymology of SPAYING
The word "spaying" originated from the Old French term "espaignier", which means to cut with a sword. It is derived from the Latin word "expaniare", which translates to "to make sterile". Over time, the term evolved to specifically refer to the procedure of removing the ovaries and uterus of a female animal to render it incapable of reproduction.
