My Ollie (6 months) will be nuetered next week and i just got a letter from our vet with the option to have it done by laser sugery for $45.00 extra. It reads that the advantages are reduced swelling, pain and risk of infection. Our neighbor just had his yorkie done at the same vet and refused all extras so of course my hubby thinks we should do the same. Does anyone have advice about the laser method?
Also they are offering lots of pre surgery screening---blood screening (46.25 extra), EKG ($43.00) and an IV at an extra cost. Are these necessary?
My Chihuahua was nuetered 7 years ago with out any options like these by the same vet. I do trust this vet. He saved my chihuahuas life!
