Pam, your vet will be a big help to you and Tino. You will get an honest opinion about this Little boy and his future. We are all praying for Gods will for Tino and hope he will get well again. I question this shelter and it's care of animals. Had I made the decision I would have waited for any surgery but is now done so hopefully he will be better today. When I adopted my poor little skinny cat, the shelter had me wait over 3 months till she gained weight and healthy. I will be thinking of you both today. Hugs Ann
