Frankencat

Poor baby.  So Dylan went in for his surgery today to remove that pesky mast cell tumor that had taken up residence behind his right ear.  The most important thing to report is that everything went very smoothly, he's now home and recovering, albeit still stoned out of his poor furry little mind from the pain meds and anesthetic! He looks mildly stoned at the best of times, so you can only imagine the vacant look he's wearing right now.

He's also sporting a very impressive looking scar, plus two shaved patches on his front legs where the IVs went in, plus a fentanyl patch stuck in his hind leg for longer term pain relief. Pain relief patches for cats - who knew?  I guess that's what $2,000 in vet fees will buy you.  Yep. Two grand for an op that lasted 15 minutes.  Ouch ouch ouch.  Thank goodness for credit plans, is all I can say.  

He may be a Frankencat right now, but he's worth every penny.
