I think I found the vet for the surgery. Still waiting on a call back for the rest of my questions to be answered.
I found a clinic in a nearby town that does laser surgery and they require the pre-lab work! They did not mention the bile acid test and the vet was in surgery so they are going to call me back on that.
The lady answering my questions did not know how they put the dogs under or what kind of stitches they use either. She said all the people that know everything were in helping with the surgery.
I was just encouraged that they do laser surgery and they do the pre-op tests.
Question: Do I want to go a week before for the blood test or is that something to do the day of surgery? The lady on the phone said they can do the test the morning of surgery.
