So $500 later, my dog

kada626

had a tumor remove & almost all her teeth pulled. She's like a new dog (she's 18 1/2 years old) but, wow, I can't believe how much the vet charges!

Around here THAT IS A BARGAIN.  I'll pay almost that much for a check-up and vaccinations.

kada626

Yeah, I guess I can't complain because she's only been to the vet a few times since she's been born! It was just bad timing with Christmas,hosting houseguests,  bills for 2 ER visits, hosting a wedding shower and the upcoming wedding! I declare myself broke!

I hear that, knock on wood at our house.....going to give the dog a vitamin.

At least they are not human medical bills... it probably would have been around 200,000.

Glad she's ok.

We recently spent $1,300 on one of our cats.  And that's not including the $350 ultrasound that I said no to.  I think it was totally unnecessary and they were just looking to make more $.

Yes, they wanted a lot more but I got them down from $300 to $50 for her teeth. I decline the test to see if the tumor was benign-she so old I don't think it would matter. They also used a cat traq/drug instead of a dog one since she is on the small side.

yeah, I just spent $100 on a vet visit to be told my dog is fat and that the rash dh is so worried about is, indeed, just chaffing.  dh was worried it might be something contagious.  Why does the man not listen to me???

Poor pooch! I hope she's feeling better!
