My friend and her young bitch Isla came to stay and Isla went home minus a few parts LOL. She was spayed by my vet using the keyhole surgery method - Laparoscopy. He is a great believer in this method and is quite an expert at it now,performing over 150 operations to date. In fact he is the only vet in Scotland performing it. Isla on the other hand was not too impressed with the idea but resigned herself to the procedure as demurely as she could. She was actually a model patient and was bouncing about in typical papillon fashion when we brought her home. She had a small area of hair shaved off her tummy and two very small incisions. This method is less intrusive and quicker recovery time and I must say I was most impressed. It is a bit more expensive but worth every penny and my own girls will be done this way in the future. (the girls don't know this yet LOL) You can read more about it on their website www.ayrton.org.uk
