Thanks for the replies, Seeing everyone elses views has helped so much. Im gutted that i cant do anything for Chip but i can for Ted and i shouldnt stop him from having the chance for a longer life so im going to go ahead with the opp. Hes just going to have to be watched like a hawk once hes done because hes such a terror with his belly when i put cream on it etc. Its my brothers wedding in Dundee in a couple of weeks so he may have to come with me
