Hi Lisa! Do you love Magoo? heehee! congrats on a good vet visit! Well, I too have to say the cost seems reasonable. You may want to ask if there are any possible problems to watch for in the future following surgery. Jan alluded to anesthesia causing a change in catitude- I would assume that is temporary- ask the vet. Anything to alleviate magoo and you and your husband from repeated discomfort seems to be a positive step. Write a list of questions you may have.. (cats without tear ducts, where does that liquid go?- that's my question!!! And if it goes elsewhere- will it build up and cause a problem?- this may seem a silly question but I am curious now!) Thanks for the thorough update and more kisses for magoo! (well don't put yourself in harms way- just mention it to him in passing!!)
