I will give advice on what tests to have done, I will say what I personally have done for ANY surgery any of my babies face, and I will give facts and give links for people to go to with information on the latest research on spaying and neutering....I feel personally terrible about encouraging and , I feel pushing, that lady to have her baby neutered, only to have her worst fears come true....I will live with that the rest of my life.....I was reduced to uncontrollable tears when I read her post that "her baby didnt make it, he died on the table".....No, I learned a very valuable lesson with that experience......wont get caught in that snare again. (I cant remember who it was that this happened to, but if you read this, know I am still affected by what happened to you and your baby, and I am soooooooo sorry that happened to you.....I think about you and your grief at least once a day, and will for the rest of my life.....)
I am sorry you live with that guilt I think we all were doing what we thought was right . I know your advice comes from the heart. OP I understand your concerns but the pre-OP bloodwork will help ease your fears. As with having any anesthesia there is a chance something could happen but as long as he is healthy (which the pre-OP bloodwork will determine) I am sure he will be fine
