First, I just want to say that I had their names confused, lol. The white kitten is Yang and the black one is Yin.
Anyways...as some of you may know, the tip of Yang's tail needs to be amputated because it was sucked on when she was first born. I was worried because of the cost and such because I don't have a whole lot of money.
Well, I called my vet to see if she could give me an estimate and such. She asked a couple questions about the tail and then gave me some awesome news: Yang may not need to be "put under" for the surgery! She may very well be able to simply numb the tail and to a quick "slice and stitch" and that's it!
The vet said that she wants to get the tip removed asap because it's slowly spreading and if it can be done without having her put under, then it would be a zillion times safer. Also, it will be a lot cheaper, lol.
I'm going in next week(Mon or Tue) to have the vet take a look at Yang and, if she can do the surgery without putting Yang under, she will go ahead and remove the dead part of the tail! Yeah!
Total cost: approx $100. It's an "ouch", but not too bad.
Wish us luck next week.
