Dinky is scheduled for surgery with the board certified vet who just does surgery.
I am so thankful for the advice here. Not only is this vet doing two parts of the surgery with improved techniques than the regular vet, but they have staff there 24 hours. We even met the nurse who will tend to him at night. Also, he explained everything in detail with models and charts, and he did a great job of explaining the post op care.
I feel so hopeful now, and before I was feeling dread.
Also, if anyone hesitates to go to a surgeon bc of cost, you should know that the cost at the surgeon is 25% less than the regular vet and he has no charge for post op visits.
The surgery will be on Monday still.
I'm so glad I checked in here and got the advice to go to a surgeon! |
