We need prayers for Tiger.

I am upset right now, and with good reason. Nothing was done wrong at the clinic today with Tiger's neutering, but unfortunately he did suffer a complication after the surgery. I took him in this morning and was called shortly before 2pm to be told to come by and pick him up. I had been cleaning up the room he lives in so he'd come back to more room and a cleaner one, and left once I'd put everything back in there. I got there shortly before 4pm, and they were busy. So I waited. They were going to bring him out to me, but never did. When the tech came out, she explained to me that Tiger started bleeding after the surgery, an extremely uncommon complication. I was told that they gave him an injection of vitamin K, and were watching him closely. I was told to come back for 6:45pm, but I got back there shortly before 6pm and decided to wait there. I had been told that the bleeding had stopped, but they wanted to keep watching him. I waited some more, and as 7pm closed in, I still didn't know what was happening. There were others waiting to be seen, despite the fact that the clinic was supposed to be closed. I called my husband and while I was on the phone with him, the tech motioned me back and put me in the operating room to wait. The head vet came in to talk to me. Tiger had stopped bleeding, but they wanted to keep him overnight to make sure that nothing happened to him. So now I wait for a call from them, hopefully in the morning rather than the middle of the night. I know he's a strong cat, he's tough, but I'm not sure how he'll fare from this issue. I'm hoping that nothing else goes wrong.
