Honestly, in your opinion would surgery for removal of a benign mammary tumor be worse? Thank you for your opinion. I really want to know.
I posted before you posted the video, perhaps my answer is there.
Cataract surgery is rough on the dogs and the owners. Compliance with all the eye drops is a must.

I would not compare the surgeries .. .. bottom line though is that cataract surgery is optional/elective. Mammary tumor removal is not. And, it is painful and almost completely avoidable. To put a pup at risk for no good reason is not sensible in my world. Spay surgery is something they really do recover quickly from.
