00:00 A very soft touch on the way home, Walich, I'm delighted.
00:03 It's true that Christmas has just passed, many families
00:06 sometimes have, with happiness, but you always have to be
00:08 scrupulous and I would say vigilant, but offer an animal.
00:11 I don't know if we offer an animal or if we acquire an animal,
00:20 there are responsibilities, but passing this one
00:23 quickly raises the question of reproduction,
00:26 whether we are a cat or a dog.
00:27 I think that the field must be clarified because it is not always
00:31 common knowledge.
00:33 Absolutely, there are a lot of preconceived ideas, if you want Eric,
00:36 on reproduction, because often men like to compare
00:40 to themselves and a lot of preconceived ideas, for example,
00:43 people tell you in a vaccination consultation,
00:45 when he was three months old, we talked about it last time,
00:47 they will tell you, it's good to get a close up of my dog.
00:51 In fact, it's true that we hear that.
00:52 Often people say it or to my cat and that's still a preconceived idea
00:57 because there is the sentimental, necessarily we will transpose
01:01 to the human being and a woman in general, of course,
01:04 there are people who don't necessarily want to have children,
01:07 but we always transpose and we have the impression that an animal
01:10 must be carried by transposition to the human being.
01:13 There are feelings, so it's always very interesting,
01:16 it's always very nice to have a pet at home,
01:18 whether it's a cat or a dog, to have little babies
01:21 take care of it, to see the mother take care of it, it's very pretty.
01:24 And there is the pure medical.
01:25 And it's true that we, veterinarians, often we advocate sterilization,
01:30 we will talk about it later, for purely medical reasons.
01:33 Here we are really only on females or we talk about females?
01:36 We can talk about both.
01:37 We can talk about both for the moment.
01:38 So first you have to know how old you can start sterilizing
01:42 because puberty in dogs and cats is different.
01:45 That is, in cats, in principle, between 5 and 7 months,
01:48 a cat or a cat, it's almost the same thing,
01:50 can reproduce,
01:51 sexually mature, that is, they can reproduce.
01:54 And if your puppy, for example, comes out at the age of 4-5 months,
01:58 it can go back to the age of 5 and a half months with babies already in its belly.
02:02 So we'll talk about the advantages and disadvantages.
02:04 And with the dog, it's a little later, it's around 9-10 months.
02:07 It depends on the breed, but in general, at 9-10 months,
02:10 a dog has its heat.
02:11 And it's true that there are things to anticipate in relation to all this.
02:14 It's true that in the common of families, we talk more about the bad,
02:17 but it's true that we don't often hear about sterilizing a female.
02:21 What are the advantages for the family now?
02:25 Man and cat, man and dog.
02:27 That is to say, there will be no losses, for example.
02:31 Ah yes!
02:32 You have advantages that are...
02:34 Yes, there are advantages, let's say, hygienic.
02:36 Yes, hygienic for females, there will be no heat.
02:37 Especially with the dog.
02:38 So a dog that is in heat will bleed more or less abundantly.
02:42 And it's very different...
02:43 We've seen people put on underwear.
02:44 Exactly, because it can last 15 days, sometimes 3 weeks.
02:47 It can be long on a dog that loses a lot of blood.
02:49 It can be a little unpleasant to see on its cart every morning.
02:52 Yes, if we have carpets, carpets.
02:54 And then sometimes we also give them right-hand passes on the sofa.
02:58 Exactly.
02:58 In the bed, in the bedside table.
03:00 Which is attached, of course.
03:01 It's incompatible.
03:02 That's the purely human side.
03:04 Now, from a medical point of view,
03:06 you should know that a dog that is not sterilized
03:09 has 10 times more, or even 15 times more chances of having breast cancer.
03:13 So a breast cancer versus a sterilized dog.
03:16 So it's true that medically, and it's proven, if you will,
03:20 by the scientific community,
03:21 that a dog that keeps its ovaries
03:23 will have a potential breast cancer, which is much more important.
03:27 And that can trigger all these cancers quite quickly?
03:30 Not necessarily.
03:31 The peak is around the age of 5 to 8 years old.
03:33 In general, that's where it starts.
03:35 But if we sterilize it after the age of 2-3 years,
03:38 we lose all this benefit.
03:40 That is, a dog will still develop a breast tumor.
03:42 So you have to know that there are dogs that we never operate,
03:44 that never have a breast tumor.
03:46 We shouldn't exaggerate, but statistically,
03:48 they have 15 times more chances of developing it.
03:50 So what we recommend as a veterinarian,
03:53 a dog, we wait for the first heat to pass,
03:55 so 9-10 months.
03:56 Two months later, we sterilize it,
03:57 and this dog will have a statistically higher life expectancy.
04:02 Well, Wally, you know that this is the human side of things.
04:04 There are dog contests, there are feline contests,
04:07 there is the Lof.
04:08 If we sterilize, we're at the Lof anyway.
04:11 We can confirm a dog that is sterilized.
04:13 So a dog, because it's not visible,
04:16 but it's just for the owner's pride.
04:18 Oh yes.
04:18 Because there is no offspring behind it.
04:20 In fact, the Lof is to create a pedigree.
04:21 I don't hear, but often there are people...
04:23 Pride is important in families.
04:25 On the other hand, a castrated male cannot be confirmed.
04:27 So here you have to be very clear.
04:28 Because you have to leave these two testicles in place.
04:30 Exactly, totally.
04:31 Because even an animal that we don't sterilize,
04:33 that has only one testicle in place,
04:34 which happens, it's called a cryptorchid.
04:37 So it's a pathology, a road accident,
04:40 it excludes the Lof.
04:41 It cannot be confirmed.
04:42 It's important because it's part of the overall aspect
04:44 of the animal with us in our daily life.
04:47 There are sometimes anthropomorphic transpositions,
04:50 you mentioned it.
04:51 In the end, we like to take over their reign.
04:54 And God knows that he does it well for us too.
04:56 Of course.
04:57 So, on the female side, we saw,
04:58 these are the main advantages.
05:00 Mammalian tumors.
05:01 Mammalian tumors, no worries.
05:02 In the cage, especially, especially, especially,
05:04 if people don't want to sterilize,
05:06 don't give the pill, I beg you.
05:08 Because if you want to have a mammalian cancer
05:11 in a cage, you give the pill.
05:12 Even once in your life, she will have a cancer.
05:14 We will also come back to the dog,
05:15 on its advantages.
05:16 Is it also on the character side?
05:18 Because for these cats and these cats,
05:20 in this case, does it provide
05:22 a better, I would say, sweetness?
05:25 Is the character of the animal modified?
05:27 In the female, much less than in the male.
05:29 Because you should know that testosterone
05:30 is a hormone that makes you nervous.
05:32 So a cat or dog animal,
05:35 we will make a little bit of a distinction between the two.
05:38 Castrated will tend to be a little softer anyway
05:41 and less dominant.
05:42 In any case, it has more sexual dominance
05:43 because these hormones will dictate a little
05:46 its behavior of dominance.
05:47 So that, we can castrate a male just for that reason.
05:51 Because there is a sexual dominance aggressiveness.
05:53 We'll come back to that.
05:54 In the female, much less.
05:55 We don't really have an effect.
05:58 So maybe the cat becomes a little more pantouflard.
06:00 It will reduce its territory
06:02 because the sexual territory is always
06:03 wider than the playing territory.
06:05 Yes.
06:05 Okay, so it will only have its playing territory.
06:07 So if it's not very playful,
06:09 it can stay at home all day.
06:10 So, you bring me to the important question
06:13 also, yes, we like to pantoufla.
06:16 So dog and cat, is it precisely because the dog
06:19 or the female, I would say, is sterilized,
06:22 there is a change in feeding?
06:24 Because as you mentioned,
06:25 we are a little quieter.
06:27 And then, finally, the physiognomy of the dog
06:30 can change or the cat as well.
06:31 Very good remark, Eric.
06:32 Because if you want, before it was a fatality.
06:35 We said, yes, my animal is sterilized,
06:37 so it's normal that it's obese.
06:38 Today, no, but it's true.
06:40 And it was in the era of time.
06:41 Everyone said, yes, listen, doctor,
06:43 my cat or my dog are overweight,
06:45 but they are sterilized.
06:47 So, I mean, the cause is all found.
06:49 Today, we are more in anticipation.
06:51 We sterilize your animal,
06:53 cat, male or female,
06:54 whatever the sex of departure.
06:57 We adapt the diet to its new physiological status.
07:00 Like a menopause in a woman, of course,
07:02 that if we continue to eat the same way
07:04 or androposis in men,
07:05 there is an undeniable overweight.
07:07 But if we adapt, if we adapt,
07:08 we do more sport, etc., etc.
07:10 We will regulate and it is no longer a fatality.
07:13 So, the diet is not just
07:16 with a package written on it, sterilized.
07:18 There are also fewer things in it,
07:20 different things that make the metabolism
07:22 is also adapted.
07:22 Very good.
07:23 So, on the Toutou side,
07:24 we saw this happiness that all of a sudden,
07:26 we're going to move on to the veterinary box
07:28 because it's not done at home with bricks.
07:30 It is clear at what age,
07:31 precisely, we come to castrate all types of breeds.
07:34 I mean, when we are a little Tekel
07:35 or a big Saint Bernard,
07:37 we will say, on the side of the dog.
07:39 So, in the male, we have fewer deadlines.
07:41 We don't have this famous,
07:43 we sterilize at one year,
07:45 we wait for the first heat to pass
07:46 and we sterilize before the second heat
07:48 because that's where we have the most benefits.
07:50 In the male, there will be a benefit,
07:51 despite everything,
07:52 because testicular tumors
07:54 or prostate pathologies,
07:56 because the advantage of castrating a dog
07:59 is to avoid all the prostatitis
08:00 that he will have at almost 70%
08:03 at the age of 8-9 years old.
08:04 Whatever the breed.
08:05 All mixed breeds.
08:07 So, if you want,
08:08 the fact of sterilizing,
08:09 if you sterilize at 3 years,
08:11 you castrate a male dog at 3 years old,
08:13 you will have a benefit
08:13 because there are no more hormones,
08:15 the prostate will almost disappear
08:16 and thus, the tumors will not...
08:18 The testicular tumors, already,
08:20 they appear later
08:21 and the prostate disappears.
08:22 So, the male, we have a kind of latency
08:25 that we can have,
08:26 that we don't have in the female.
08:27 After, if it's for the character,
08:29 you have to be sure, on the other hand,
08:30 that the castration
08:31 solves the problem of dominance
08:33 because all dominance is not only sexual.
08:35 And there are a lot of people,
08:36 unfortunately, who are disappointed
08:37 because they castrate their dog
08:38 saying "he will be calm"
08:40 and in fact, no.
08:41 Speaking of that, Wally,
08:42 there is also the...
08:43 We didn't mention it for cats.
08:44 They have that in their temperament
08:45 but there are dogs, in any case,
08:47 who are a bit "fugueurs".
08:48 Yes.
08:48 So, "fugueurs" too
08:49 because "hunter" for the female,
08:51 in quotes.
08:51 Exactly.
08:52 It's true that they have a truffle
08:53 and it sniffs far and long.
08:56 It is clear that if they are not castrated,
08:57 they will have a propensity,
08:58 anyway, to visit the countryside.
09:00 If the fugue is sexual,
09:03 it will be suppressed.
09:04 The fact of castrating,
09:05 the libido...
09:06 You can't imagine that
09:08 on the day of castration,
09:09 we open the grills and that's it.
09:10 Because the hormones persist
09:11 in the dog's blood
09:12 and will decrease.
09:13 It takes about a month.
09:14 A month and a half, two months.
09:16 I always say a month and a half, two months.
09:17 On the other hand, if the fugue,
09:18 the huskies for example,
09:19 it is the race par excellence of the fugue,
09:22 they are dogs
09:24 who have kept a primitive instinct.
09:25 They walk.
09:26 They walk.
09:26 So, in fact, you can castrate them,
09:28 they will continue.
09:29 On that note,
09:29 because we also have our friends
09:31 who take hunting dogs,
09:32 whether they are hunters or walkers,
09:33 in any case, nature version.
09:35 It is true that these breeds of hunting dogs
09:38 have a propensity,
09:38 they too, maybe, to be more...
09:40 More fugal.
09:41 More mobile, yes, more fugal.
09:42 Not necessarily.
09:44 It's when you...
09:45 On the contrary, it's rather dogs
09:46 who are quite obedient.
09:48 And suddenly, when you call them,
09:49 they come back.
09:50 Very well.
09:50 They stay around the house in general.
09:52 They are not really
09:55 nidifuge species
09:56 who will move away,
09:57 move away from the nest.
09:57 In the case of cats, on the other hand,
09:59 the big advantage of castration,
10:00 and there I would say
10:01 it's almost a medical advantage,
10:03 pure,
10:04 it's the fights.
10:05 That is to say that an entire cat,
10:06 it's a cat who...
10:08 In fact, it's very territorial,
10:09 necessarily, a cat compared to a dog.
10:11 And its territory is marked
10:14 by its sexual hormones.
10:16 So that is to say that it will urinate
10:17 a little everywhere
10:17 around its territory.
10:18 Moreover, marking at home
10:20 is very problematic
10:21 in an entire male cat,
10:23 because it will make you
10:24 urine spots everywhere
10:25 because it's normal,
10:26 it's instinctive.
10:27 So castration will suppress that.
10:29 And especially the fights
10:30 when it's a cat that comes out.
10:31 Because a non-castrated cat,
10:33 honestly, we see it at least
10:35 four or five times a year.
10:37 Abscesses, bites,
10:39 scratches.
10:40 So that, on the other hand,
10:40 in cats, it's really
10:42 one of the reasons, and above all,
10:43 avoid infectious diseases.
10:45 Because it will contract
10:46 inevitably the cat's AIDS,
10:47 which is not only sexually
10:48 transmissible in cats,
10:49 but by scratches and bites.
10:51 And also fights, abscesses.
10:52 Speaking of fights,
10:53 we have certain characteristics,
10:55 a canine that, well,
10:56 well expressed.
10:57 Races too, categories,
10:59 which also require
10:59 an accompaniment.
11:01 We see it with law texts.
11:03 What about it, if I have a dog,
11:05 well, a little bit,
11:06 I would say muscular,
11:07 I break it, I don't break it.
11:09 Can it influence,
11:10 here too, positively?
11:11 In relation to its character?
11:12 Yes, of course.
11:14 The fact of castrating it,
11:16 after that, there are standards.
11:17 If the dog is of a category,
11:19 it is castrated.
11:21 It goes to another category,
11:22 it changes category.
11:23 It changes category,
11:23 the fact of being castrated.
11:24 That's it.
11:25 Whether it's a real breed dog or not.
11:27 Well, we see it,
11:28 the problem is broad.
11:29 It also depends,
11:31 I would say, on mutual comfort.
11:32 Because in the end,
11:32 whether it's a cat or a human,
11:35 it's the idea of living together at best.
11:37 We have the countryside
11:37 and we want to open all the doors,
11:39 well, let's leave them to it.
11:41 That said, we will remember,
11:42 in any case, on your advice,
11:44 that nature is also well-ordered,
11:46 that it is also preferable
11:47 for their good aging.
11:49 Of course.
11:49 There too, to accompany them.
11:51 Of course, because today,
11:53 unfortunately, abandoned animals,
11:55 there are more and more.
11:57 And sterilization is also
11:58 part of this veterinary mission
12:00 in the broad sense,
12:01 but with the owner,
12:02 with a principle agreement
12:04 to limit overpopulation.
12:05 Because a bad cat,
12:07 we don't know the number of females
12:08 that he has licked during the day.
12:10 And you should know that a couple of cats,
12:11 after four years,
12:13 a couple can lead to 20,000 cats.
12:15 It was a study done by the SPA.
12:17 So of course,
12:17 everyone has to be alive.
12:18 But you can imagine the potential,
12:20 already, of cat reproduction.
12:22 Because every two months,
12:23 a cat can fall back into heat.
12:24 It's seasonal, but still,
12:26 and can make seven, eight kittens each time.
12:28 So I would say the good advice,
12:29 it's to remind people about vaccination,
12:31 with a good vaccination record.
12:33 Discuss sterilization with your vet.
12:34 With your vet, it's practical.
12:36 And then we debate,
12:37 and we do or we don't.
12:39 Exactly.
12:39 Thank you, Walid.
