Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear about Halo's medical conditions. I agree 100% that a second opinion is needed, and sure hope the second vet can give you hope for Halo's full recovery. Being such a young girl, and with a good body weight, chances are a great for her to get through surgery fine. Sending many purrayers and nose rubs from the East Coast, to Alaska that things will work out fine for your beautiful little girl.
