Thanks for posting this thread Candace!
You guys are the best.
Tig will be on the morning flight Friday and they will do the surgery shortly after. We are driving over there and will pick him up on Saturday morning. My only concern is the anesthesia but his suffering is so bad now that I was definitely going to put him to sleep if my vet couldn't get him in. I prayed and prayed that an opening for him would come available and when I called the hospital they said that it just so happened that my vet was coming in on Friday June 13th, his day off to repair a shattered elbow on a dog and he could do Tiger's procedure on the same day. I was so thankful because the only other time they had for Tiger was next Wednesday and he wouldn't have made it to then.
I'm so shocked at how fast Tiger went down hill in these last few days. But... I have been explaining to him what will be happening and as crazy as it sounds, it seems like he understands. After our 'conversation', he perked up a bit and was purring and rubbing up against me.
Anyway, thank you all for your prayers and for reading so many posts and threads about my guy. After this, I'll certainly keep his threads to a minimum, except of course with an update once he's back.
