@dr..zeb.shahid.qa: Castration or neutering is the surgical removal of a male dog's testicles. It is not strictly mandatory, but veterinarians highly recommend it for Shih Tzus. It prevents unwanted litters, eliminates the risk of testicular cancer, lowers the chance of prostate problems and stops hormone driven habits like roaming or urine marking. Talk to your vet about the best time for the surgery. For small dogs like Shih Tzus, vets usually do the surgery around six months of age, before the dog finishes growing up and fully matures. #veterinarymedicine #veterinarian #creatorsearchinsight #uae🇦🇪
