Laser surgery VS "the knife" for spaying, thoughts?? I'm leaning towards laser when the time comes, any thoughts to share on this? |
I didn't realize that they did Laser until today when I called my vet. I am curious of this too. |
If your vet is experienced in this, it would be great, healing time is said to be shorter, and less bleeding, as the laser cauterizes blood vessels as it cuts through. |
My puppy had her spay via Laser, I have nothing to compare it to but she did excellent and has barely any scar , there were not stiches to remove and she was fine a day later! |
i worked for general practice vets and board certified surgeon vets. i've seen both types of surgery and honestly there is no difference in recovery. the surgeons didn't even like the laser and preferred to do it the old fashion way with a scalpel. the only difference really is in price, laser is more. |
I've had both done and I will always have laser. Sorry to disagree but in my experience there is less healing time, mine didn't lick at the wound either and were back to normal the next day. I just had to keep her from jumping and running because she would have. |
I have had it done both ways, to two different male yorkies. I would highly recommend the laser surgery. Less inflammation, which essentially means less post-op pain and less bleeding. Less pain is a good thing. |

Drawn to laser option but.... I have to agree with Nancy in that if the vet is more comfortable with one method over another, that's the one I'd choose. My instinct would be to go with the laser but only if the doctor is capable and 100% confident in her abilities to use this method. There's nothing worse than an operator second guessing what they are doing. Be safe & good luck!:animal36 |
We're doing the laser surgery next Wednesday:eek: Our vet said animals don't bleed as much with it, and that is the main benefit. Since Nala is so small, our vet suggested (but did not pressure us) that we do it that way. |
