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?

max had an ameroid contrictor ring so they only had to open him up once. from what i understand this type of ring slowly closes the shunt off over a few months. luckily when they openned him up, he only had one big shunt they were able to put the ring on easily. max had to wait almost a week to have his surgery as well. they wanted to make sure he wasn't having anymore seizures and wanted him to take some antibiotics first. do you have a date for the surgery yet? where are you located?
