My dear Simon is having a rough year. Last October he had pelvic reconstruction surgery due to a broken pelvis before we rescued him. He was having trouble pooing and xrays showed the old injury. Well, he has blocked again. July 1st he had emergency surgery while we were on vacation (we took him with us). He is back in the hospital again, again completely blocked. His surgeon wants to remove his colon. I know this is necessary for him to have any kind of quality of life. Has anyone here ever dealt with this before? And, yes before you ask, he has been on special diet and meds to help his stool stay soft. I am heartsick over this. Simon is such a wonderful boy and it hurts to see him suffer. He's only about 2 years old. Of course friends who don't understand our bond thinks we should let him go They think we've already spent way too much. ($5000) I can't put a price on his life
