Is one more safer than the other? My vet said with the laser, he'd still have stitches. Soo is it much different than the traditional scalpel? I'm asking because I thought my vet was kinda expensive, and decided to call another vet. Meeko is scheduled to get nuetered, his 2 back declaws removed (non-articulated), and his 2 bottom canines removed. The quote I got was $1100. Thats with everything, all the bloodwork and everything before hand, anesthesia, and pain meds to go home with. Maybe its just me, but that seems like a lot. I'd rather not spend that much money if I dont have to. I LOVE my vet but, still. Soo I called another vet, that my friend uses and she trusts. I got a quote for about $500 but, doesn't do laser. That's a big difference to me. Is the laser that much better that it's like $600 more? I don't know what to do. Money is a little tight rite now, I'm looking for a new job rite now. Soo the extra money is a lot rite now but, if it's gonna be safer and better, than i'll spend the money. Can you give me your opinion, I'd really appreciate it.

Oh if anyone here if from South Florida (Palm Beach, Broward, or Miami Dade Counties) and really likes and TRUSTS their vet, can you please give me their name and numbers!!! I'm in south Palm Beach County but, don't mind the drive. I'm actually traveling 40 mins for my vet now, he's in Weston.

Thanks!!!!
