So I popped in to see our regular vet and vet techs this afternoon for extra guidance and support. It's strange that we were all set for tomorrow's surgery, but now that it's delayed I'm starting to question myself again. I feel much better now after talking to them and I'm looking forward to seeing the neurologist tomorrow to get this rescheduled. My biggest worry is that these ongoing seizures are causing more brain damage that might not be reversible and how will that effect her quality of life. My vet also explained the border issue. Because this shunt is a surgical piece of equipment(intended for humans), there can be problems shipping if the recipient isn't licensed to practise in the originating State/country. In other words it creates lots of red tape. Thanks again everyone and I will update after our appt tomorrow. |
