Is this from tree climbing/jumping?? It may just cure him of ever wanting to be very UP... although I have a dog who's been skunked twice and my parents used to take porcupine quills out of one of our dogs on a regular basis! He's hoping he is older and wiser after Wed!!Karen Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189370281390432351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-67239921504657983782009-10-24T12:54:23.686-04:002009-10-24T12:54:23.686-04:00I'd do the surgery!

We ran into a similar situation with our cat earlier this year - urinary blockage, catheter, weekend stay at the vets, etc. If we hadn't done it, we would have felt that we were letting him die because paying for his medical care was not "convenient." We fixed the cat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973984089001877006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-5771360839179428792009-10-24T11:58:10.801-04:002009-10-24T11:58:10.801-04:00Hey, glad I could help!

And, if he's already feeling logy, he shouldn't mind.<br /><br />We'd do the surgery, too . . . even tho we couldn't afford. (I keep crossing my fingers that nothing will "happen" to any of the animals right now!) <br /><br />Keep us posted!Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-18130725663130696562009-10-24T06:15:07.683-04:002009-10-24T06:15:07.683-04:00He is all of 1-1/2 tender years old.

He's gonna wonder what the heck hit him then but I'll bet within a couple of days after that, he'll be back to the same spunky guy he was before his encounter with whatever made him exert more than his body could handle. (He may decide to be an inside cat permanently now It can be dangerous out there!)<br /><br />Thanks for keeping us updated, Jordan.Mama Pea Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449138881131132555noreply@blogger.com
