The ear polyp concerns me. Yodie had one and unless the polyp is removed at the root, it grows back. The only way that's done is surgery; Yodie's was lasered out. Poor little guy. He must have been neglected for so long. He's probably like a sponge right now soaking it all up. If they can get the diabetes and thyroid under control, lasering the polyp is not a bad surgery unless they wait too long. Yodie's was growing down into her throat. Do you know if the vet said whether or not the polyp was limited to just Scrawny's ear? Gosh, I'm sure your head is spinning. Sorry for so many questions. I just think that he has a good chance but, unfortunately, it takes money. If possible, PM me w/the estimated total and I'll do my best to help, even if just a little. Maybe the vet will discount some since the poor boy has so many things wrong w/him? I'll wait to hear from you, Lara. Thank you so much for helping him. You're a sweetheart.
