Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I again suggest everyone consider looking into Ovary-Sparing Spays for females (removes the uterus so no pyo, no puppies but hormones are intact so no lethargy) and vasectomy for males (still has balls, hormones not affected but shoots blanks).
Overpopulation is a problem, so is pyo. These solves those without harming hormones, energy levels, etc.
Both are a lot more expensive than traditional spays/castrations, but I think a better fit. I would not do a full spay or castration without very specific reasons (ovarian tumors/cancer, testicular cancer, etc.)
