Nowadays, catch, neuter and release programs are performed widely. These programs have proven to
be victorious in most places since it is the only method for humanitarianly controlling Alabama dog
populations. In fact it is the most efficient way of managing community dogs. When they are done
employing contemporary methods and materials, it usually does not necessitate more sheltering days
for them to recover back, prior to releasing them back in their respective Montgomery territories. Normally
the animals are released in the same day and would not require further treatment.
Most people think that the same day release proposal is hard to admit, however it is parallel to
the progresses in the childbirth. There was a time when the mother was entailed to stay for nearly
5 days in the hospital, whereas now due to the improvement in drugs and medical techniques, it is
enough if the mother can spend less than a day. Same day release notions are adopted all over the
world.
The Montgomery catch, neuter, release programs actually help to eradicate euthanasia wherein the dogs are killed
painless just because they were more aggressive in nature. People who perform these programs will never
compromise on the equipment, materials, surgical standards and operating practices. Both male and female
animals are sterilized, wherein it is done to control the Alabama population. However there is another reason for
doing it to the males and that is to control their aggressive actions all through the mating season
since it causes more trouble for human beings.
The females become healthier, and don’t have to get exhausted persistently by giving birth to their
litter. The males become calm, composed and tend to fight less. They also become healthy subsequent to
having them treated for skin issues and parasites. They are also given rabies vaccinations to lessen the
risk of the illness spreading to humans.
To perform these programs, the dogs are first caught using nets and then taken to the clinic. A medical
register is first assigned. The weight of the Montgomery dog is checked and then drug package is then made according
to their weight. They conduct a physical exam and then premeds are injected when the dog is securely present
inside the net. The surgery site is then appropriately prepared. The major concern is the probable dehiscence
of the muscle layer in the spay sites of the females. They return back to an atmosphere wherein they might
have to conflict to get food. Also, during the surgery, if the female Alabama dog was in estrus, male dogs might
still try to mate, after surgery.
This might result in wound breakdown and so to alleviate this particular
risk, suture protocol is followed utilizing a 3 cm incision at the maximum. Superglue is used in this process
and it just helps to act as a seal to avoid infection up till 72 hours after the surgery. However it does not
provide strength or holds the wound. When the Montgomery dogs recover subsequent to surgery, they are then returned to
their place of existence or handed over to their owners.
