You guys this is too wonderful! I've never done anything like this before so not quite sure how it works. We will give the vets a call and see what would work best for them, and let you know. Surgery will probably be scheduled for sometime next week. And on a VERY positive note, we have Kurby in a large dog kennel in the spare bathroom with food, litter, water, etc. Kevin went in there this morning to change litter and replenish food/water and Kurby started hissing. Kevin said when he reached in for the litter Kurby let him pet him and even purred! This guy has got to be given a chance. I'm going to see how he will react to me later this evening. We just got back from a funeral and have to go over the friends house here in just a few minutes. I will get back to all of you after talking with the vet. We can't thank you enough!
