Thank you. I am in agreement with you. I missed the vet's call on Thursday so I am waiting to speak tp her tomorrow and will discuss my concerns. All she said in vm was that doing all the blood work and surgeries in one day would be too much on Thumper's system.
He is roughly 9 years old and about 16 pounds. He has pancrtititis, high blood pressure and Cushing's disease as well.
