I talked with the vet last night after he got out of surgery, and he said that Gary is doing really well, and that he is tough.
I have a little background story. Gary has always had this weird, hanging pocket of skin full of fat on his tummy. When he ran, it would flop back and forth, and sometimes would drag on the floor. after his first surgery, I joked with my friends and family that I should have had the vet remove that fat and skin, give him lipo and a tummy tuck. Well, apparantly, the problems he had this weekend was that this pocket of fat was completely abcessed. So Dr. Ian had to remove it. Gary's doc gave him liposuction. The good news is that the abdominal wall was still intact, so it was just this pocket of fat that was infected. Also, there is an organization that helps pay for some of the cost for animal care, and the lady told me that they would pay up to $200. So I get to bring Gary home today. yay!
