It’s a short one! This webinar shows us how to castrate large dogs via a closed technique. This webinar is produced by VetToVet. In this method, the vet shows how they:

• Grab the testicle and push it cranially
• While putting tension on the skin, incise
• Create a window
• Grab the testicle and pull cranially to stretch out the ligament and release the testicle
• Keep stretching out the cord to release all the connective tissue
• Clean the cord as much as possible
• Double-Triple ligate before cutting
• Repeat on second testicle
• Closure
• Tips on reducing the risk of haematomas
  • Keep the cord clean
  • Remove most of the fat before placing a ligature
