Oh Nicky, I really feel for you. So far we've been fairly lucky with our two wee monsters. The only ops they've had was when they were dressed & I was beside myself - ringing the vets every few minutes to see if they could tell me how they were.
I guess all you can do is take the vet's advice & make your minds up what is best for him. To look at things practically (which I know won't be easy at the moment), if it had to happen, its probably best you've found out now - could have been a really difficult trip down under for him.
All the best and we'll be waiting to hear how things go on Thursday
