I have to take care of Codie's knees first before they get worse (the longer you wait, the worse it is). But I got the ok from my vet to wait these 3 weeks before his surgery. If it was an emergency, I would have done the surgery on Saturday. But I'd really like to do it on a holiday so I can save on the vacation day and then be able to take a few more days off the following week. I don't want to leave Codie home alone for at least 5 days after his operation. My vet said it's totally ok to wait until the 21st.
So we're going to do Cali next month after we finish with Codie. We still want to get her spayed but that would require Cali being under anesthesia much longer -- so we're still undecided.  |
At the risk of sounding ignorant, does your vet do any procedures with laser? I know that it is an easier procedure for things such a de-clawing (and it doesn't remove the knuckle). There was a recent post where someone was talking about an alternative to anesthesia for pets. I wish I could remember who/where it was.........
