My precious little Lacey was 10 months old and weighed less 2 1/2 lbs. and she was spayed, had 4 teeth extracted and a dew claw removed at the same time. She did wonderful plus we took her home late that evening. I wouldn't think about letting them put her to sleep two times for that. I have been to Banfield several times but only because a dear friend of mine who has been my vet for almost thirty years has the one where we live. But I still chose not to have mine spayed there. We kept waiting for her to get to 3 lbs. before surgery but she really needed those teeth taken out so we went ahead with it. Every one at the clinic is in love with her because she is so small and loves everyone so she got lots of TLC. I really enjoy reading all of the posts here. You all sound like a wonderful, loving group. BTW, insist on the pre-op bloodwork. |
