Thanks for your support everyone. I am so worried about him.

We had people over when the vet called to update me so I didn't remember to ask some questions. When she calls agian this evening I will ask her but until then I was wondering if you guys might know the answer. If he has the surgery, with it being in the small inestine what does the operation entail? And what is teh survial rate of it? I know I should have asked when she called, and I know that surgery is the only option if he can't pass it. But these details I need to know. With him only being 5 months old I am wondering if that means he will have a harder time recovering or handling the surgery. Does anyone know?
