Spay and neuter your animals please, I don't care if you live on a farm and your aunt makes money breeding dogs and you might want to do that someday, just loving spay and neuter.

As a vet, my job is far from the worst, most days, but I do have to deal with the heartbreaking and often disgusting consequences of dumbasses not getting their pets spayed or neutered. Aside from overpopulation concerns, intact animals also get a variety of life-threatening, expensive medical conditions related to still having gonads. These pictures are all pretty nasty, but at least I was able to fix them all. It's worse when we can't fix it, for whatever reason. Spoilered for grossness--I don't mind icky things, thankfully, but I know many people would consider these :nms:



Cat with a necrotic uterus prolapse (note: the uterus is not supposed to be on the outside)


Normal testicle on the left, torsed (twisted) testicle on the right. It's turning black and necrotic.


Pyometra, a uterine infection where the uterus, instead of being about the diameter of a Sharpie, becomes a giant pus-filled anaconda that needs to be immediately, carefully removed lest it rupture and spread all that badness into the abdomen.
