Yes, that is reasonable in New Hampshire. You
could say, "I have heard that anaesthesia is tricky for Pyrs, something about
their slow metabolism" and ask her if that is true. If her answer
satisfies you, then ok. If not, you need to decide if she is the one you
are comfortable with. I believe, but do not know for sure,
that there are other dogs who have serious reactions to anesthesia,
greyhounds for example, so vets are more on the look out than they might
have been in the past.
Your task later will be too keep the little guy
from licking the incision. I have not experienced this but I know other
people who have had to have the incision closed two or three times because the
dog licked so much and had to resort to an Elizabethan collar. Charlie was
"super glued" and fortunately left it alone.
My husband had to have a talking to from the vet
when Jascha was done. The vet had to explain that it was the dog who was
losing parts, not him. It was a rough time for him.

I've heard how they don't do well with the anesthesia. Is there something I should tell the vet? I don't want to sound too much of a know-it-all to her though. It's going to cost around $160 for the surgery. Is that a reasonable price? Please someone give me some relief!![]()
