Forum Post: RE: New video: Let's Talk About Small Animal Surgery [quote userid="2131" url="~/001/veterinary-clinical/small-animal/soft-tissue-surgery/f/discussions/29892/new-video-let-s-talk-about-small-animal-surgery/230834#230834"] A pity to see the prejudice against catgut as a ligature material. Catgut is an excellent ligature material. I don't suppose that is the sort of opinion you were looking for. [/quote] And against thyroidectomies. It’s a perfectly valid treatment for many cats. Even if radio iodine was cheap as chips 3 weeks confinement is not appropriate for some cats.
