Dee - I will pray for your baby, as will many others on this site, I'm sure. These are all questions you will need to ask the vet. I was home with Lola so I can't answer them, and it was so long ago, I don't really remember if she needed much or if I just felt better being there. Will you be home the first few days after surgery? If not, perhaps he could stay at your local vets during that time??? I think after the fifth day or so, if you are able to keep him confined and are able to check on him at lunch, he should be fine. Please check with the surgeon. Whether or not he will be on hepatic food for life depends on his bloodwork after the surgery..I would imagine so, but I'd always rather be safe than sorry! Please keep us all posted. |
