You must have faith and trust in your vet, that is very important. If your baby is not ready for this surgery your vet will let you know.

I discussed it with the vet pretty extensively, and I do trust her. She does pre-surgery bloodwork, and she monitors her surgery patients extremely closely as they go under anesthesia. If there are any signs of a problem, she backs out immediately rather than proceeding. She also said she’s never, in over ten years, lost an animal during an elective surgery. I still worry, though. It’s in my genes.
