Aw, sweet little Newman - I am so hopeful for a xuccessful surgery. I know it's scarey. My dad's cat, Schnicklefritz, got into a catfight, got a claw puncture in his hip that got infected. It was so bad and spreading, the vet suggested having him pts. He was, after all, a stray. My dad said no, this beautiful little stray is a wonderful little friend, so try amputation. They took his entire leg and discovered they had to take all of his hip, too. Took about 1/4 of the cat away. He not only survived, but adapted in no time and did wonderfully. I pray that Newan's surgery will provide as happy an ending as Fritzie's did. Miracles are floating around and Newman sure deserves one. God Bless you, Little One. |
