i dont know about tss, but if we had left it in there much longer some of the tissue on the inside of his intestines would have started dying from lack of blood. he's better now, he's home and he has a heating pad because his temperature was a little low and that had the vet concerned. but she said that other than that his vitals are all good and stayed good during the surgery. he's eaten a few small meals and he was walk a little better even though i still have to carry him outside to pee, which scares me cause he's so big and i'm afraid i'm going to hurt him or drop him. thanks for all the prayers and good wishes batman appreciates it
