David - I've spayed dogs which had prolonged/erratic heat cycles and, before the surgery, explained to the owners that it most likely was due to cystic ovaries. Then, after the surgery, I have been perfectly willing to show the owners the removed uterus, along with the cystic ovaries, BUT do they have any idea of what they are looking at? I doubt it. The "proof" is in the "pudding". Should your clutch/shifting give you anymore problems in the near future, you might be correct in suspecting your mechanic of skinning you. Otherwise, I'd say that unless you are prepared to enter such mechanical repairs yourself, leave it to the "experts". R.A. Alexander, D.V.M. '85GL - "Bourgeois" |
