Moxxie. Glad to hear your babe is doing well. What kind of surgery did he need/get? I have a small zoo myself, plus I foster for a rescue. But I was a vet tech for years, so I know what Things cost if something should happen. But if one of my babies needed help...I'd beg, borrow, sell off everything I own, walk the track...whatever it took. My animals never suffer. I took on the responsibility and I will live up to it. Or I will give them to a rescue who CAN/will help them. It would break my heart, but I'd rather lose them then kill them. This is what you have to be willing to do. If you aren't, don't get a pet.
