| Introduction and in need of advice about neutering I haven't really posted on yorkie talk before, but I've been a member for a while. My name is Beth and I have a 6 month old yorkie named Brinkly who will be getting fixed soon! I really need some advice about how to chose the best vet for his surgury. I was going to use the vet that I got his 3rd and 4th shots from, but I'm kind of having second thoughts. Using this vet I will have to have him @ the vets office @ 7:30, but the vet won't be doing the surgury till 9:00. Then he'll have to spend the night @ the vet in a kennel so he can recover and in case his stitches break apart. However, nobody will be @ the vet over night. Is this every vets standard procedure? It just really bothers me that he'll have to spend the night @ the vets office with out any one there. What do all of y'all think about that? Does this vet seem like an alright vet to use or should I call around and get somone else? |

| I know you are not going to sleep that night. My male cat came back the same day. My neighbor's male dogs came home the same night as well. Can you call around and find another vet where you'll feel more confident? Good luck!

| Thankyou! I just want to thank you so much for the advice especially for the link on anthesia. I called the vet that I was going to use and they did not use the isoflourine, instead they used a barbituate injection called xzylene (I cant spell) and something else. So I definitely won't be going to them. When I called around to all the other vets in my area, they all used the the isoflorin and the mask AND they had the same day pick up. Yesterday when I scheduled Brinkly's neutering, I just had this sinking feeling that I was making a mistake taking him to them. I just didn't feel confident with them at all. After I saw your replies I called them and asked what kind of anthesia they used and when the told me I cancelled his appt. Thank you again for your help!! I'm sure Brinkly's grateful!=) |
