Oh poor puppy...Oh I have to tell you guys I went ahead with the operation for my kitty..he is doing great! The doctor who did it was increadable, she is out in Cloverdale...wonderful people! So Kitty is back to himself, he had a feeding tube for about month, he did not like that, and you had to feed him so slow since it went right into his tummy...there was alot of barfing to begin with!! hahahah I have to say we use to go Island Vet in Richmond they were wonderful...then the doctor sold and the new doctor got rid of all the old staff, and she wont see any of the old doctors animals...I was so upset since he has to go in once a week to get weighed...
