Thanks John! Are you getting settled in at St Lou? How's Elsa and the pup doing? Well I hope.

Elsa is doing good, but she is getting tired of being boarded... Once she is at the vet she does ok, but she does not want to go to her crate when she knows it is time to go... Jake is doing great.. He takes care of himself very well. As for the house, just got some good news, but have not gotten a closing date... I hope to hear something by early next week if I am lucky...

Time for another update. This one is not so good.:( We took Jax to the vet back in early Dec for his neutering and found that he had a nondroped testical. Our vet and us decided to give it another month or so to see if it dropped. We took him back today and no go. Soooo it looks like he's going to have a rough time. The vet wants to call a Dr. at the U of Illinois vet school and see what options there is to make it as least invasive as possible. He said that in the past he has found them in either the belly or their thigh. Kinda worried about him but his vet is very good and has done this many times before,,,just not on a savannah. He does however own bengals so he has a pretty good understanding of Hybrids. Will let you know when we know more.

Sending healing energy that all goes well with Jax's surgery. It sounds as though you have a good vet who is doing his homework which should give you confidence that things will go just fine. I'm impressed that your vet is taking the time for an outside consult to find a way to minimize the invasiveness of the surgery. We'll be waiting to hear how Jax does. Hugs to you. I know it's impossible not to worry when it comes to our fur kids.

There should be no difference performing this surgery on a Savannah than on any other domestic cat breed. The only issue might be anesthsia, which could be an issue no matter what the surgery is - or what breed of cat it is.

What Patti said...here is hoping the surgery will not need to be too invasive and Jax will be up and running around in no time!
