I thought Micah was doing so good with the recent changes you had already made?

I guess I'm confused because if he is doing good, why would you put him - and yourself - through something like this? It sounds really, really scarey.....I guess I don't really know all of the details of what you're dealing with in him, but before I did something like this I would definitely do like SAS says and give everything else a chance to settle into his system to make sure it's either going to work or not.

I guess what I'm saying is I would use this as an absolute last resort - and it doesn't sound like you're quite to that point yet. Definitely see what the homeopathic vet has to say, and somehow I think he will not agree with such an invasive surgery, and will do his best to get Micah 100% healthy without all that.

Good luck, and please keep us updated. Poor little Micah, he's such a sweety to have to go through all this.
