Tails From the Clinic: Little Whiskers, Big Impact! A Mouse Surgery Story
🐭 Small but Mighty! 🐭When we talk about skilled surgery, we often think of complex procedures on dogs and cats—but what about animals as small as mice? With a surgery site smaller than a pea, these procedures require incredible precision, steady hands, and a deep understanding of these delicate patients.🏥✨
At our clinic, we’ve been working with Out of the Pocket Micro-sanctuary to desex these tiny, whiskered wonders, proving that even the smallest creatures deserve the highest standard of care.
Why desex a mouse? 🤔
✅ Improves health & longevity—Helps prevent reproductive cancers and hormone-driven conditions, giving them longer, healthier lives.
✅ Prevents unexpected litters—Mice reproduce fast! A single pair can lead to hundreds of babies in just a few months.
✅ Reduces aggression—Desexed males are calmer and less likely to fight, making group housing safer.
These tiny surgeries make a big difference! 🐭💛 By providing this service, these mice to have the best chance at a happy, healthy life.
