Will had his pre-op visit yesterday at the VA. He is still scheduled for next Thursday and he is going in at 6:30am. The doc described what they are going to do and it doesn't sound pleasant, not that any surgery is. They cut his soft palette and then take the excess tissue out of his neck and then they cauterize his tonsils. After all that, they sew his soft palette back together again. They said he will be in pain for about 10 days, they will send him home with pain meds and a numbing solution he can swish in his throat to help with the pain as well. And since he cannot eat for about 10 days (so the scabbing doesn't open), the poor guy doesn't get Thanksgiving dinner. So, we will have it twice this year :) Today we also have Minnie's first vet appointment. She is getting her shots and an exam, so I hope they can tell us if she is a full lab or mixed with something.
