Why is it such an issue re the number of spays/neuters which took place in a week? If a vet is strictly performing these surgeries, it is completely possible. If a vet is treating animials, seeing clients, running tests, etc. the numbers won't be the same. My father was a veterinarian for 50 years here in California and had his own hospital. He could neuter a cat in 15 minutes...just another day in the life.
