Chopper's surgery was postponed until today. Poor little guy had to spend the night at the vet. But, today's the day!

Update from Chopper's Mom:

He got out about 30-45 minutes ago. Very drowsy His intestines were healthy enough to be saved and none of it had to be removed!!! Chopper had one testicle on the left side, the same side as the hernia, and it was removed as well... I guess the other was done as a puppy? The fat on the right was cut and removed. Both hernias are closed!!! He will need to be walked frequently and have limited exercise. He may even have to sit in the box for a few days but... HE COMES HOME TOMORROW!!! He is going to be a healthy little man for a few more years!!! Thank you so much IMOM! THANK YOU ANGELS! Without you... This wasn't possible. I am truly grateful!!
