We had talked about it in the beginning but the hesitation was because of his renal issues and the risk of anesthesia; but it is now at a point that he is not adapting quickly enough and he must have proper nutrition or he will die due to that. I am just totally amazed at how the surgeon did it so quickly and with less offending drugs .... I love that place! They have really been awesome with the three very sick pups I have had lately. Of course it does not come cheap and I my resources are really getting to be depleted but thankfully I was able to come up with the money and take care of them all. Sunny D's vetting will be refunded to me at some point but honestly all I care about is his health. When they are in my home, they are the same to me as one of my own. One thing I plan to do next week when I can breathe is to purchase insurance for my personal healthy pups. I had said that about two months ago and drug my feet and Teddy's little adventure last week slammed me. A simple condition that could have been much less, ended up costing a bit over $7,000. I won't leave myself open like that again...haha! But..then again, I suppose I am by waiting for a week but I have to breathe some!
