Cataract surgery was not optional as I was told if we did not operate, my dog might get glaucoma ( very painful) and other complications. Had it been optional and had no effects other than sight loss I probably would not have put him through all that. Trust me we were very careful about the eye drops and the complex regimen and rechecks were a full time job. So although it seems a simple surgery it is not in dogs. I was asking if the suffering for a dog would be more or less for an average mammary surgery and I think they could be compared.
My point was the eyes and ears are not trivial health issues. |
