Do you have a Vet School within a reasonable distance? The specialists in a Vet School / Hospital blew my mind when I had to get emergency surgery for a blockage in my Lab. They called in a surgical team and operated on her at midnight and called me at 2:00 AM to update me.

I would seriously consider doing that if you are willing to eat the expense. Best of luck to you and your pal. Hoping for the best!!
