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. |
The idea that the vet used towel clamps to pull the skin together to close the incision is just horrible! What an unnecessarily painful thing to put your dog through. As you know I work with breast cancer every day and any mastectomy is pretty gruesome. But to take so much tissue that towel clamps are used blows my mind!
