Default Capt. Midnight -- Monday Night Update

This is what we did for Miss Violette, If you spend time with him before the
surgery, expect he will go to the bridge then if he is able to be helped you
can be happy, if not, doing the exploratory lets you know for sure and you
know you did everything you could, I am so sorry you had to face this, I am
crying for you and me both, Soft and her house...

Capt. Midnight was discharged from the emergency TED and went to
the regular TED. To refresh everyone's memory, he's been throwing
up since Saturday, the barium was able to pass through the large
intestine, and both TED's found a mass by palpation. The
emergency TED thought it was an intestinal blockage. The regular
TED seems to think it could be something else, and thinks it
could be advantageous to do an exploratory to see if it's
something that can be remedied. If it can't be fixed, we'll help
him to the Bridge.

Now for the ultimate question: If it were your cat, would you
help him to the bridge without doing the exploratory, or would
you do the explorator and if it's something that can't be fixed
then ask the vet not to wake him up?
