I really don't know why that vet doesn't do it as standard pracitce.

It can be difficult to place an IV and if an emergency arises, how can they do it quickly? He should also get fluids. I would insist.
I completely agree. This was one of the deciding factors in finding my vet. I moved to Miami from Chicago and didn't know who to go to. I met with four vets before I found one I was comfortable spaying my baby girl with. The deciding factor, besides his demeanor and holistic style of practice - was the standard use of an IV.

Especially with our tiny ones, its so important.
