Darcy has received the all-clear . . . HURRAH!!!!!
Biopsy normal, under the circumstances (the blockage), stitches out and no need to return to vet for further checks
.
The boy himself seems to have perked up since stitch removal, and has been following me around the house since getting back about an hour ago.
The fur is already growing back on his belly; and he and the others seems to be tucking in wonderfully to the new 50/50 mix of standard Persian Royal Canin mixed with the intense furball formula . . . and there were copious 'gifts' for me in the litter tray this morning, a sure sign that things are 'moving along through'
Thanks to everyone for the kind words of sympathy and encouragement - it's meant a lot to Darcy and to me
