Had our kitty declawed. She recovered quickly. Dr. Bessmer was great, kind of a cool guy. He even talks about his own pets with you and makes the visit personable. He shows emotion which in my experience has always been hard to find in a vet. He truly cares about your animal and let our kitty recover nicely. Now she doesn't scratch us, furniture and even my other kitty! Thanks Dr. Bessmer!
Update: we called to declaw another cat and apparently the blade surgery is more than the laser technique. I don't think we spoke to someone who knew what they were talking about so we just scheduled the surgery with our other vet.
