Worst case scenario - at the boarding place where I work, a 6 month old ginger tabby came in. He had had $4000 worth of surgery to correct a twisted bowel!

He had a shaved tummy, long scar and instructions to lift him in and out of his room(which we did, of course) - and he was the goofiest nawtiest boy as if nothing had happened!

HUGS to you and Brodie - and prayers that it is pretty straightforward.

I PM's you about IMOM - hope that can help!
