The G-FOrce Update 12/30/2011

Today, we took the G-force litter to the Veterinary Referral Center in Malvern, PA.  We met with Dr. Dietrich Franczuszki, a doctor I have know since 1999.  He had agreed to check out our little Godric and perform the amputation needed to help save his life.

After filling out all our paperwork, we were seen by Dr. Franczuszki. We discussed the plan.  Since Godric is only 120 grams and the lower 1/2 of his leg was dead with his ankle dislocated, we decided to do a local anesthetic block and remove the foot at the point where the skin appeared to be healthy just above his ankle.

All done and set up to spend the holiday weekend at my house.

 Thank you all for your support and prayers.  Godric and the rest of his family are comfy and eating very well!  When he is about 8 weeks old we will do a revision surgery that will shorten his stump and make it easier for him to function like a normal three legged cat!
