Hi everyone, thank you so much for the prayers. He needs them. He is doing terribly today and I'm about to call the clinic and see if there is any way I can put Tiger on a plane by himself early next week (since I have to work) and get him in because I just don't see how he is going to make it. He's starting to choke when he drinks and eats and I can't let him go on like this. And he seems to be so uncomfortable just sitting there doing nothing.
I'm wondering if Metacam (meloxicam) would help with decreasing the swelling if there is any. I will ask that when I call in a few minutes.
Catty1, thanks for the ideas with regard to the finances. It looks like we will be able to put a few hundred down on the first day and then make 200.00 payments on our credit card each month until it's paid off so that is a blessing and will make it possible for us to undertake.
I'll post any updates as they happen. Thanks again.
