QUESTION
Which is not an elective surgery?
OPTIONS
(A) Oesophagotomy in dog
(B) Ovariohysterectomy in dog
(C) Docking in 10 day old dog
(D) Mastectomy in bitch
ANSWER
(A) Oesophagotomy in dog
EXPLANATION
An esophagotomy in a dog is typically performed to treat an active problem such as an obstructing esophageal foreign body and is therefore not elective. Routine ovariohysterectomy and cosmetic docking can be scheduled, while mastectomy for a diagnosed mass can also be planned; the emergency therapeutic example is esophagotomy.
