Will Red-Tiger Survive Surgery?

I hope his operation went well. As for loving your pets enough to shell out the money to keep them healthy I’m all for it if the money is there. I had one of my pet rats operated on to remove a tumor. It was around $200 for the operation for a rat that had been given to us for free. And granted it didn’t increase his life span past the normal 4 or five years that my pet rats usually live, but how do you put a price on a pet rat that knows her name and knows how to do tricks.

Same with my "free" cat, I worry about him like he was a child.

You were right! The catfish surgery was $200 and a complete success. The Redtail Tiger Shovelnose Hybrid catfish at 29" was almost too large for the veterinarian's facilities. The fish is home now and swimming well. I'll post some pictures shortly.
