QuestionDo you know of recommended surgeons and/or English Bulldog specialists in the Philadelphia,South Jersey or Delaware area for laser surgery on out English Bulldog's soft palate?
We are searching for the best doctor.
AnswerHarriet,
First, I would make sure that the surgery is necessary. I would not have the surgery unless it was absolutely needed. Many times a pet owner is told their dog needs surgery but he/she really doesn't. Always get a second opinion.
I do not know of any specific specialists in your area. The best thing to do is call several vets in your area and ask for recommendations.
When you interview a specialist, you should find out why they believe your dog needs the surgery. What problems will he/she have without surgery? What is the recovery time? What about follow-up treatment? What kind of anesthesia do they use?
Make sure you are comfortable with the clinic, staff & doctor.
Hope that helps!
