Jett had his surgery today. There were some complications, but it wasn't a disaster. There were actually two stones, the second of which was in a much trickier spot to access. They had to cut the bile duct open to get it out (usually they try to squeeze it down the tube back to the bladder before removing it).
They say the next few days are crucial, and as long as those wounds heal up without bile leaking out, he might even be able to go home with us on the 24th, in time for christmas. Not like he'll be running around, but at least he'll finally be home again. We'll be feeding him food and meds through that tube you see in his throat. The vets said that his pancreas is in
really rough shape. But they said they are 'cautiously optimistic' he can recover.
Thanks again everyone for all your support. 2020 has sucked real bad for us, and this was an ass kicker at the end of it. I send all your good vibes his way and I think he'll make it through. He's a tough kitty for being a spoiled 12 year old indoor cat
