1st KeyHole Surgery for Greyhound !
Permalink Closed

A greyhound in West Lothian has become the first animal in Scotland to be neutered by keyhole surgery.

Jet, a seven-month-old dog, underwent the operation at Ayrton Veterinary Centre in Whitburn.

Dr Tony Page created two tiny holes in Jet's abdomen before removing just the ovaries rather than her womb and her ovaries - known as an ovariectomy.
