These are probably basic questions, but you could ask what exactly will they do during the surgery. What is an estimate of the time length of the surgery and the estimated time length of her healing. What are the possible side effects from the surgery or from anti-biotics (or any meds she'll come home with) so you know what to watch her for. I'm pretty tired right now so nothing else is coming to mind except to ask for an estimate of the cost of the surgery and the cost of the meds she'll need afterward and when to make a follow up app't with them so they can do a re-check on her here.

I have a question it's not about my chi/jrt mix but my German shepard/Collie mix. I had to take her to the vet today because she has a growth inside the flap of her right ear. I didn't get to talk to my regular vet, (she had surgery and wasn't there) I didn't like this vet very well. But he said he didn't think it was cancerous and to keep and eye on it for a week or two. He said if it got bigger then we would have to do surgery and take it off. I noticed it last week and it was really small then. It got bigger this week. My question is what should I ask the next time I take her to the vet and they say surgery. When we go back I'll be able to talk to my normal vet. This one didn't want to take the time ot answer my question too well. It snowed about 4 inches today and I guess he didn't think anyone would show up.
