I'm vet, and I was wondering if anyone know's if it's safe to keep on doing sugery on dogs, cats and occassionally small animals. I read that it's unsafe to clean cat litter while pregnant, so, that's why I'm asking.

Actually I think it is fine! I have a friend that is a vet and she never quit while pregnant! You will need to be sterlie about everything but im sure you already are so there shouldnt be a problem at all.

My SIL is a vet. She was teaching a surgery class for vet techs and she quit doing surgery while pregnant. She said that the anesthesia can pose a problem. I'm not sure what, but you should definitely look into it.
