Many vets are very familiar with this procedure and it is specifically taught during their schooling.
Perhaps a vet who volunteers in the spay neuter clinic would be most experienced-however I'd not take my dog to those clinics they are a quantity and not quality stressed event. |
I live in an area that was over populated with coats when I first moved here. The local shelter could not take anymore cats and although I felt bad for these poor creatures I knew if I fed them I would be increasing their ability to reproduce. Anyway, I started taking them to the local low cost spay neuter clinic at a near by shelter. I have to say that vet did some of the best surgeries I have ever seen. Small incisions and quick recoveries. Some of the cats were feral and had to be released rather quickly but all have done very well. They did do some pregnant cats that also recovered very well. There is nothing like experience when it comes to getting things right.
No, I didn't take Gracie there to get her spayed because the program is really for those who cannot afford a vet visit or for population control like I was doing. I can't speak for other programs but the one I take these cats to does first rate work on cats and dogs. That type of program could be an option for people who have no other way to go.
