please keep us updated on the surgery!!! |
Which route did you have done? The contracting ring? Or did they just go in and close it up all at once?? Thank you very much for the sites and info.
Ty gets to come home tomorrow for a week, a local Small Animal Surgeon we were refered to said to wait a week before surgery so his body cleans out and it will make it easier for him to come out of a sleep. Any input?
