My dogs and cats have survived traditional spaying and neutering as well but I am all for progress. Time marches on. Don't blink. Enough said - let's move on.

No debate on my part. And you are entitled to your opinion. I simply weigh the facts.

However, you didn't answer the question as to why you would choose to leave an unproductive organ (the uterus) inside your pet knowing laparascoptic surgery isn't able to complete the job? In my mind this is an important factor.

You are relying on the opinion of so-called experts who perform that type of surgery. There are many young veterinarians in this area -- many. They certainly have been trained in this. Why aren't they performing this type of surgery?
