Thankyou again everyone for the vibes for Norris today. I took him in at 7am. They said he was supposed to have his surgery today between 11am-3pm just depending on the schedule. He will have to stay overnight, so i will pick him up after i get off work at the shelter tomorrow. Also- the vet (a different one in the practice- apparently my bosses called this morning and raised all you know what and demanded a different vet) said that he thinks he can repair the leg without having to amputate it so that's great!! He's not 100% sure but he thinks he can fix it
That's the best news i've heard all week! So keep your fingers crossed this vet can fix it alright. (there are a lot of vets in that practice- 2 of which i really like......the others i don't care for or have never delt with- the new vet is one of them but he seems to be good so we'll see.) my bosses let them all know that what they did was unacceptable. so i guess we'll see what happens as far as switching clinics go. Right now though i'm just hoping all goes well with Norris and he isn't in too much pain when he wakes up. I signed a thing for him to get extra pain meds if he needs them so i hope that helps.
Still sending hugs and prayers form Mississippi for Norris, please let us know something when you find out how he is doing

Just to update- i just got off the phone with the vet a moment ago. He said that he is going to do Norris surgery last (After hours) because it will likely take several hours and he want as long as he needs to devote to it. He said that he is pretty sure he will be able to save the leg and it won't need to be amputated
(great news!) He said that he wants to keep Norris overnight (as can be expected)and that i should still be able to pick him up tomorrow after i get off work at the shelter. Please pray that all goes well tonight with Norris surgery.

I hope they can save his leg. Sending tons of VIBES for Norris.
That`s great news! Thank God this vet is a decent one.
I`m not sure what time it is there now but I will say a little prayer when I go to bed in a moment. Hope he can save his leg but it`s all sounding so positive
Norris certainly is a popular little guy, and his new buddies missing him already?! How sweet is that!
