The results attained wherever the operation has been practised justify its more general adoption. Age—For treatment of nymphomania cows are spayed regardless of age. For increasing the duration of the lactation period it is best to operate after the udder has attained its full development and while at the height of lactation, i. e., when the second or third calf is about three to four weeks. Fig. 140—Cow tied to a fence for the spaying operation. old. Some cows are in their prime with the second calf, others not until the third calf. The udder never develops and the milk flow never increases after spaying, hence it behooves the operator not to make a mistake in se- lecting the time to operate. Never operate during the estral period. Season—Since the vaginal operation is the method recommended, the sea- son does not play an important part. The spaying may be done with safety at any season. Preparation—The alimentary tract, especially the rectum, should be empty. Hence it is necessary to withhold feed for thirty hours previous to operating. Immediately before operating the rectum should be emptied either by "back raking" or by a copious enema. Restraint—The operation should always be performed with the animal.
