Ask Dr. Dressler: Cancer Surgery
Chances are, you haven't really heard the full scoop on surgery -- because most vets only talk about the at-home care required AFTER the surgery is over, when they're handing over your groggy, stitched up dog.
In this eye-opening seminar, Dr. Dressler tells you everything you need to know about cancer surgeries – including what actually goes on during the surgery itself. This is stuff most vets don’t have time to tell you about. In this seminar he addresses:
- Why preparing your dog for surgery is so important
- The difference between curative surgery and palliative surgery
- Under what circumstances you should probably agree to surgery
- Under what circumstances you may want to decline surgery
- Steps to take at home to get your dog (and you) ready for surgery
- How to be your dog’s Primary Health Advocate: what questions to ask your vet, and how to ask them
- Post-surgical biopsies and why they are critical
- How to take care of your dog at home after the surgery is finished
As always, Dr. Dressler also answers questions from members about their dog’s cancer.
