Brown is under the knife

Well, he's at the vet and scheduled to have the surgery today. He should be able to come home tomorrow. They're keeping him overnight so they can give him IV pain meds. He'll be on antibiotics afterwards, and is all but guaranteed to get some sort of post-op infection due to the location. Shit + surgical wound = infection. The vets are not concerned about being able to manage that.

I'll post updates. Maybe even a pic.
