Second Edition of Recent Advances in Companion Animals Neutering

Dear Colleagues,

Sterilization of small animals is always a very pertinent topic. In recent years, new methods are being explored to improve surgical neutering and analgesic and anaesthesiologic procedures in order to achieve and preserve animal wellbeing, in accordance with European directives. Modern veterinary science has become more focused on improving these techniques, applying new procedures for the controlling of pain and using minimally invasive techniques. We would like to ask you to participate in a Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Companion Animals Neutering”. The aim is to gather the results of recent research, with an emphasis on studies that employ more efficient procedures that can minimize surgical pain and discomfort, and, thus, optimize procedures in the fields of obstetrics, gynecology, and andrology. We encourage you to provide any information that may help improve the castration of companion animals.
