“Dr Zia in DHA is amazing. I've had scaling and extractions for several geriatric cats now and one younger kitty with FIV. He's brilliant and uses gas anaesthesia so it's much safer for your cat's kidneys. Two other famous vets in Lahore have messed up scaling and spays with fatal consequences. That's why get it under gas and proper pre-op checkups — no one does it like Dr Zia.” — Reddit user, Reddit (anonymised)
