Molly, I don't know anything for sure yet. I picked Gaylord up when the rescue lady was at work and I didn't get a chance to hear what they intend to do for sure. She did say maybe the cheaper surgery would be an option. She will get different meds to me, too. I am to bring him to the adoption event on Sunday still.
The vet said to be sure he does not walk on stairs. (That will be hard, I have stairs everywhere. He will be restricted to the family room, foyer and front room. It will kill him not to come into the kitchen when Killi and Shi are there or come up to my bedroom (however since I got him, I've been sleeping in the family room with him). Poor boy.
