Sue am really sorry to hear all this news.I have been away for a few days and am just now checking in on Pet Talk. I agree with everyone else as far as KillianIf it was oneof my babies I would just try the meds and diet for now,as long as he is reasonably comfortable and happy.There are just to many risks involved with the surgery for me to take the chance.As for you we are all there for you andkillian and my prayers are with both of you .....Sandy
