Sorry to hear KS.

I can feel for you. I get VERY attached to my pets and have unfortunately had to deal with quite a few surgeries and putting some pets down. It has never gotten any easier for me.

I personally like dogs and cats both quite a bit and have had both.

Currently, I have two dogs. But, one of my best pets of all time was a cat that was a VERY good buddy.

In some cases, surgery has seemed to work and resulted in more happy years. One time not so well. Unfortunatley, there have been a few times where surgery was suggested, but I really had to grill my vet to determine if it was a viable option or not. And a few times I had to skip as surgery just didn't seem a realistic option.

Best of luck. I hope it works out and hope for a fast and successful recovery.
