Re: [Felvtalk] laser
Not that new. I live in a rural area now and have known about lazers for several years. At least one practise here has spent the money for one. A lot of vets are using it for spays and neuters because it cuts down on bleeding and recovery time. They are also using it on declaws which has really improved them (I know there are different opinions and different circumstances but if you have to do it, do it with the least pain to the cat as possible).

Re: [Felvtalk] laser
the clinic I worked at in PA before we moved to NH last Aug. has been using laser for 1.5-2 years. It is great. Less bleeding because the laser seals vessels as it cuts, less bruising because it doesn't tear through the skin like a scalpel. The animals seem to be less painful and seem to recover faster. Worth the drive if you can find one somewhere near you.

Re: [Felvtalk] Laser?
A laser spay is most definitely an option! I had them use a laser for Tommy's neuter, and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's a bit more expensive, but sooo worth it. He had no pain and recovered like it was nothing. I know spays are much more involved, but I have heard good things about laser spays as well.

Re: [Felvtalk] Laser?
It is. There may be other verbiage but that is what I had done to the last female I had spayed. There is supposed to be less bleeding and the recovery is supposed to be faster and easier. It is more costly but with a known FeLV+ I would consider it.

Yes, there is some stress involved in having it done, but there is also stress every time she goes into heat. There are other advantages to having her spayed, like a much reduced chance of mammary cancer, etc. I have had many positive kitties spayed with no problems. We can never know for sure but the odds are in kitty's favor.
