[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17560"] most vets will do a surgical dehorn in which they use a general anesthesia and will then sew up the hole left where the horn was. this is more expensive than the general scoop & burn method. some vets use anesthesia for scoop & burn and some do not although probably any will if you request it. of course after the anesthesia wears off, there will still be some soreness but as with any surgery (human or animal) this will go away. animals, like humans, also seem to have the ability to forget the pain. i had show steers dehorned growing up and there was no noticeable difference in their attitude toward me after dehorning. while a pet now, she may learn that those horns can get her things she wants and use them to her advantage. my advice would be to take them off.
