I took Monty to the vets this morning and had to leave him there. As the antibiotics have not knocked this out, they recommend surgery to follow the course of the infection to try and find the actual infection site in his body and remove it. This is the last course of action they can take and if this doesn't work, I will have to take him to a specialty hospital for them to try and figure it out which would almost certainly also mean surgery and a massive bill. I had a choice to make. Let Dr Dikeman and Dr Chellapan operate on him or immediately take him to Gulf Coast Specialists. I opted on the first choice and will hope and pray it cures him. If not, then we will bite the bullet and up to $5000 bill (per Dr Chellapan) and take him to Gulf Coast. Naturally, I am concerned about the anesthetic and the possibility of him having to go under twice but unfortunately I also have to realistically consider the cost of all this. I have utmost faith in Monty's two vets and I really feel they have done their best. They had discussed this and decided this was the best course of action.
So, please everyone, all your prayers for Monty and his full recovery.
