would you use a spay clinic? there is a clinic having a few spay and neuter days in RI and i was going to use them to spay snickers... but i have been reading alot of threads on spaying lately and now i find myself wondering if this is a bad idea?? her vet is 4x the cost should i just wait and do it there? would you use the spay clinic? all opinions and advice is appriciated... |
ummmm nope... nooooooooooooo thankyou,, just my opinion |
First let me congratulate you on your new pups:) I have not used a spay clinic but my girlfriend uses them all the time. She does rescue and has never had a problem. Also my daughter, who has a pug used them. She paid $50.00 and I paid $250.00 through my vet. Who's the fool? Harley was perfectly fine after he was neutered.(the pug) I was nervous and did not do it. I should have :confused: My girlfriend stated to me that she would never pay full price when you can get it done for 1/4 of the price! She has used them for years and never had a problem. Good luck with you decision. |
Alot of people I know use the spay/neuter clinic and have terrific success for a fraction of the price..I will use it when the time comes!! Dawn |
its really hard to make a decision... honestly saving the $$ would be good for so many reasons... more money if they get sick vet viisits etc but i dont want to put her in harms way just to do it... i think i am more nervous because she is a little dog (6.5lbs) and i want to make sure she comes out of it ok and i LOVE her vet its just the expense of the spay... either way it will be done i was just looking for the advice and opinions either way thanks guys and if there are any more keep'em coming... |
another question with spaying... can someone help me out with what IS a safe procedure and what anesthesia SHOULD be used? i'm sorry if i come off a lil dumb but honestly i dont know and i want to make an informed decision... thanks everyone! that way i know what questions to ask :confused: |
no matter what way you choose , your still gonna be nervous and go crazy that day, it happened to all of us.. it will be ok, just think possitive and we are here for you ok.... |
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my girl Coco. When it was time for her to get spayed I made an appointment with the vet. He was going to charge me like $300 and even though money was a bit tight I didn't care. I wanted the best for her. Though as the time got closer I got really nervous and thought about bad things happening. I took that as a sign that I wasn't comfortable with the vet, and trusted my mommy instinct and cancelled the appointment. I had heard of Tony LaRue's Animal Rescue hospital in my area so I checked it out. I have never even seen a vets office as clean as this place. I spoke to the doctors, with the staff. They were so amazing and only charged my $50 for her spay with antibiotics and painkillers. Coco was herself within hours and to this day you cannot see or feel the scar whatsoever. I have heard horror stories of vets who botch the spay/neuther but I was so happy I went with the spay/netuer clinic. I wasn't as scared/nervous with them when I made the appointment and Coco was less than 2 lbs at the time. I say, do your research, and if they use Isoflourine gas, and if the facilities are clean and the staff is great, why not. Trust your instinct and go with it. Sometimes it's best to use a vet, and sometimes its not. Just my opinion though. I don't think you love your baby any less by saving some money and using a clinic if they are good. |
TRUST YOUR INSTICT... yes , yes, yes |
Instinct...... |

I would just ask if they use Isoflorane gas and if it is same-day surgery. If they intend for you to leave her overnight, I would be afraid that they might leave her under anesthesia too long and that can be a danger. Otherwise, I wouldn't be afraid of it. |
these are all great responses and i will ask all these questions and check'em out i am really comfortable w/my vet but i dont know enough about this clinic so i will ask lots of questions thank goodness everyone is here to help with this i will keep everyone posted and if there are more opinions post away!!!!! |
If you decide to take her to your vet and they want to keep her overnight, be sure to inquire if anyone will be there with her all night. Otherwise, take her home. |
I wouldn't be too nervous about the best surgeon is one that performs surgery regularly, these clinics perform far more surgeries than your regular vet. The ASPCA in NY only charges 25 bucks its free if your low income and one of the vets that perform the surgery in house, (he volunteers) is one of the best in the country if you go to his vet clinic in park slope brooklyn its 350-400, go to the ASPCA its free or 25 bucks. |
