bad idea - many reasons why

every surgeon, MD, DVM, and scientist who does surgery on wild animals in the field or in the lab will take their kid or pet in to their office for even minor surgery

is there not a 24 hr. Emergency Vet. place near you??
- I have the way to drive there memorized for my area, and I have done numerous implants on animals in snowstorms & what have you - I will not suture myself or my pets

if you feel you must do this, talk it over with your Vet, and read up on it - try "Medicine for Mountaineering" - which tells you how to do an emergency tracheotomy on your friends & other fun stuff
