He has to have the femur head removed and the neck of the femur shaved, then he will form a new femur head, neck but it will require keeping him off his feet for a couple weeks - lots of carrying him around! The whole thing scares me to death! Anyway, Friday is the day it gets done!

Sorry to hear about Mowgli's need for surgery. He will be in my prayers, as well.
I can identify with the idea of carrying him around for the time of healing. We had a similar situation with one of our furbabies due to hip problems.
