I am inquiring about neuter for Billy at a new vet. They came recommended by a good stranger in the dog park. Also, my GP is prescribing me an anti anxiety called burpriprone or something like that. He is usually fairly knowledgeable about the human body, so I hope he is about the human mind! I have been disproportionately stressed out about billy's neuter at our current vet, so maybe changing vet is the simplest and most reasonable option. I dont trust their meds prescriptions after they overdosed billy last year and charged us 2.5K to save him. Plus, they did a terrible job at helping billy calm down at the vet and now he is aweful when he visits them and needs to be severely sedated each time. 

UPDATE

Yes, I finally got a second opinion by a vet on trazodone and gabapentin for Billy: not abnormal doses they said.  That's  a relief.  They charge less than half the price for a neuter (240$  instead of 600$) but I suspect it is not laser surgery. They will get back to me on that.
