Need all your experience fb followers. We have a cat that is now over a year old that was fixed as a small kitten. She is now showing signs of going into heat. One vet wants to do exploratory surgery for $1000.00. Is this nevessary? Or can they just treat it like a spay and go back in and spay again for whatever was missed? She also lives by La Brea tarpits now and really needs a good reliable vet in that area. Her new mama has been driving all the way to OC to see a vet. Anyone no of a good one near there?
