Anyone have their B laser-neutered?

Basenji Talk

  • I have not, but heard that they work really well… like with anything, the Vets that have experience with using it are pretty comfortable doing the procedure that way.


  • Lasers usually are able to control bleeding and that is always a good thing.
    Let us know how it goes…


  • We had Cyrus neutered through laser surgery last year. Our vet prefers laser surgery for a variety of reasons, including easy and quick healing. Cyrus did fine and healed perfectly.

    Good to know someone that has had it done as it is new to many Vets (most likely due to the cost of purchasing the Laser)….


  • Sounds great, but there's no way in hell I could have paid $425 for a neuter!
    Ouch!


  • Well yeah, $425 is not ideal, but the vet came highly recommended when I got his tooth pulled and they did a great job with that. From what I've heard that price is ballpark for this area of the country. Oh well, when in Rome…


  • In the ball park for our part of the country too…


  • And about 100 of that would be for the full blood workup prior to surgery….


  • Hey, so today was the day? How did it go?


  • Yes! I just got home from picking Lenny up. All went well and he is back home recovering. Due to several errors on the part of the staff that was quoting me the prices - I ended up paying $340 instead of $425… so that was a pleasant surprise.

    He seems to be doing fine. He's definitely out of it still from the meds, and Tayda is happy to have her buddy back. She's cuddling up to him and letting him lean on her as usual. Its quite cute. Here's some pics of the R & R happening right now....

    Thanks to everyone for their concern and support through this. Unfortunately I never got the green light from Lenny's breeder - she basically stopped corresponding with me a few weeks ago and I never heard from her again. Too bad....

  • You have good kids! Those pics are cute :D :D :D…Tayda is being so good to Lenny! Glad to hear it went well (and cost less than you expected) and God speed to Lenny.

    That is great that he came through with flying colors… and yes that is a shame that she didn't follow though with you and acknowledge that this was the best for all involved, especially you as the pet owner.... Again, like I said, this is what sometimes gives a breeders a bad rap... IMO.. the home is the most important.. way more the showing and/or breeding. If it was that important then she should have kept him.... hopefully your next experience will be a better one... But.. in the end.. Lenny has a great home and can now go back to the dog park!!!!!


  • still relaxing and cuddling with each other. Tayda has not left his side….

  • They do seem to know when they the ones they are love are sick or not "right".
    Sweet photos.
    I hope he is feeling better soon.


  • I'm glad everything went well. Tayda is being such a sweetie…what adorable pics.


  • ahhhh, thanks for sharing the pix


  • She's so sweet, watching over and taking care of him.

    A campsite would be good for them to roam around. When we take on vacation, I also make sure to visit any local pet cafe so they could eat food we usually don't cook.

    Most Vets now days use glue, so there are no stiches to take out when a bitch is spayed.
  • Is that a B I see?

    Definitely looks like a basenji to me. If it was something like a lab, they would be in the pool hogging the space.

    Ripley does this as well! I was so excited the first time he did it. It's the cutest thing ever :) He's started to make noise more often now, and I'm really excited. I hope he is vocal when he gets older, I love their noises!

    All three pups sleep in bed with us. We bought two double beds and stuck them togeather so we could all fit. It's still crowded. My next dog IS going to sleep in a crate!
