Candace, Miss Ellie will be around 12 this year,not only was the dental very extensive, her health was already compromised,and the steroids added even more risk, it was indeed a very high risk operation and then the tumour on top of it all,but look at my girl now.

And also Candace when Ash had a dental done he was about 14 and had kidney failure so george's chances are probably not too bad considering., i am sure his diabetes and age does pose a risk though, but the vets are the best people to advise you on this.

Candace if you really know for sure this guy will pay you back and you can take the loan on then,if it is what your heart and head tell you to do, then i would, but only you can make that decision.

My heart breaks reading this story,but i feel it will have a good ending, i sure hope so, wishing you all the luck in the world, and candace you are such a good person to do this and care so much, but then i always knew that,HUGS.
