out there have decided to do. Anyone been in a similar situation

gone ahead with the surgery? Did you regret it or was it a good
idea? Vets and vet techs, do you have any input to offer up? Any

you just go with the Lupron Depots and avoid the anethesia and
stress?




Well, I've done both. The first one I did with cardiac problems did
really
well, the second one never made it off the table. But most of the

clients have opted for Lupron. Really it's going to depend on yours

do well
with surgery. Good luck, Erin!
