My vet has agreed to do Tiger's tumor removal the day after tomorrow but he won't be able to get ahold of the cryosurgery equipment by that time. He wants me to send Tiger back to him again on the 14th of January to have the cryosurgery done but doing it separately could be quite costly. But if we don't take this opening on Sunday, he'd have to wait until the 14th for both procedures and he would be in such a terrible state by then, we just can't wait.
I'm driving him to a nearby town a few hours away first thing Sunday morning and putting him on a float plane by himself. I feel so badly about not going with him but I have to work all day. It's only a 20 minute flight though and it's quite a bit cheaper to fly just Tiger instead of the two of us, (about 30.00 each way) and a staff member from the clinic will pick him up at the other end and they will do the surgery at 9:30a.m.
We're praying it will be a straightforward surgery as it was the last time and that it hasn't spread to other areas. They might send him back that same afternoon and my husband will drive down to get him or he might spend the night and come back on the morning flight on Monday and I can go get him.
I'm just so relieved that he will stop suffering and get some help. It's hard to think about anything else when your pet is so uncomfortable. Everything else seems unimportant and trivial.
Thanks again for all the prayers.
