Rasta Update

Today Rasta went in for colon surgery. Though continuing in great spirits, he was eating and passing very little and had lost about a pound of weight in the last week. So with his time probably down to days and a better, though not really good (6 -8 months) post-operative prognosis from local vets (Marshfield Animal Hospital - great staff), I decided I couldn't let him go and brought him up to the regional surgical hospital this morning.

So Sam and I are comforting one another, hoping the best for our beloved Rasta and anxiously awaiting phone call from the surgeon. The surgery should be the "pull -through" method, less invasive than open abdominal, and I have been assured that Dr. Diamond is one of the best surgical veterinarians around.
