\u00a0Castration is a surgical procedure that removes the testes in males, thereby stopping sperm production and significantly reducing testosterone levels. Unlike sterilization (which refers to females), castration has a clear medical and behavioral purpose \u2013 preventing reproduction, as well as reducing unwanted behaviors and health risks.
\u00a0At our veterinary clinics in Novi Sad and Veternik, we perform castration on dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and small rodents, using carefully planned anesthesia, a safe procedure, and postoperative care.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In male dogs, castration leads to reduced territorial behavior, escaping in search of females, aggression, and urine marking. It also lowers the long-term risk of testicular diseases and prostate problems.
\u00a0Besides classical surgical castration, there is also the option of chemical castration, performed by implanting a microchip under the skin. This chip gradually releases a substance that temporarily blocks testicular function and mimics the effects of castration. Chemical castration lasts from six months to two years, depending on the dog\u2019s size, and is an excellent option for owners who want to test the effects before opting for a permanent solution.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Castrated tomcats show less tendency to mark territory, fight, roam, and contract bite-transmitted infections (such as FIV and FeLV). After the procedure, they become calmer, with a more stable temperament and more attached to their owner.
\u00a0The risk of injuries and infections is significantly reduced, which directly affects the quality and length of life.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In male rabbits, castration has a very positive effect on behavior. Aggression, territory marking, and dominant behavior decrease, and the animal becomes calmer and easier to socialize with other rabbits.
\u00a0The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and recovery is fast with minimal stress if proper postoperative care is followed.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_heading title=”Ferret Castration” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ custom_margin=”||-1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
\u00a0In male ferrets, surgical castration is no longer recommended because it can lead to serious hormonal imbalances, increasing the risk of adrenal gland disease (hyperadrenocorticism).
\u00a0Therefore, only chemical castration is performed using a subcutaneous chip implantation that controls hormone levels.
\u00a0The effect is temporary but safer for this species and can be repeated as needed.<\/p>\n

Guinea pigs, chinchillas, degus, and hamsters can be castrated for behavioral and social reasons, especially if kept in groups with females.
\u00a0The procedure is technically demanding due to their small body mass and is only performed in well-equipped clinics experienced in anesthesia for small animals.
\u00a0At our clinic in Novi Sad, castrations of these species are carried out with special care and tailored protocols.<\/p>\n
