One to remove the other half of his thyroid gland, the other to fix his teeth. Teeth and FIV cats are never a happy mix, I was sort of expecting this.
Poor little boy! How do you think I should time this - I really don't want to traumatise him. The little cat has had to be evacuated twice in the past six weeks as a result of fires in the flats, which took him days to recover from. I don't want to pile on endless stays in hospital on top of that. Would it be possible to do both at once, so at least cutting down on hospital time?
As to paying for it, I just quail. The worst thing is that he has got a touch of arthritis in his left back leg as well - is on strong painkillers that are making him pant, but he seems happy. At night he uses my arm to rest his sore leg on, which means I can't move, but he is visibly more comfortable.
