Zeus had major surgery in Madison, Wisconsin at the end of October 2006, by the amazing hands of Dr. Jonathan McAnulty. Zeus came through better than any of us could have hoped, and apart from having a large part of his skull replaced with Corian material (!) he is 100% back to his usual amazing self. Look for Zeus's story in the March newsletter of the University of Wisconsin Madison Veterinary School. We couldn't be more grateful and happy.

Zeus was diagnosed with a large skull tumor in June 2006. After a summer and early fall of health ups & downs, and a change to a raw meat & veggies diet with lots of herbal supplements, Zeus is heading to Madison, Wisconsin for a consult and potential surgery by Dr. McAnulty at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Wish him luck!
