I would get a second opinion before even thinking about surgery.
That's the thing — Oscar has been through FOUR surgeries in his life already with ZERO complications! One was for his neuter, the other 3 were on his leg for when he broke it - and one of those surgeries was only 3 months ago. I'm really hoping his results were a mistake and that some other factor caused his numbers to be elevated. I will definitely NOT be doing surgery on Oscar, and at this point, I'm even thinking no surgery for Ruthie either. She's doing so well with no symptoms right now - none for over a month now, and I just can't justify putting her through the trauma of surgery... or worse, risking her life.
