Thank you I now feel good about what I am being charged. Have had no sort of surgery in so long I had no idea what costs might beDylan also has a lump on his neck that has been there for about 5 years. It has been checked many times but never any suggestion to have it biopsied or removed, but this base vet offered to biopsy it. The next day, the vet who will do his dental offered to remove it while he is asleep and I am thinking this may be a good idea as I would like to have it gone anyway.(we are retired military and thus can have vaccinations and simple things taken care of at very low cost but need a civilian vet to handle any emergencies and illnesses) Our base vet finally biopsied the lump last week but it will take three weeks to find out the results as samples are sent out to a lab in Maryland. . I have to decide if I will have regular vet take it off next week or wait for biopsy results - though I think I would like it gone even if it shows to be benign you know? Surgery is scheduled for this coming Tuesday. Yes I am the one worried about the surgery!! Dylan is so mellow and trusting!! The civilian vet thought it would be good to remove it since he be under anesthesia anyway - just in case it would later turn out to be cancer. She told me that cats often have cancerous tumors - I did not know this though I did have one cat many years ago who died from a cancerous mass in his chest. So I just need to decide if I should go ahead with the surgery or wait a bit longer to know what the biopsy shows...
I will be sure to have some wet food on hand. I imagine Dylan would like that and it would be easier to eat. All of mine have always eaten dry kibble only because I am told it is better for their teeth though I know they love wet food as a fun treatThey all drink lots of water as I keep two fountains flowing at all times. That said - we did lose a cat this past year, Eliot - to sudden renal failure. That is also what took our Ernie 11 years ago. I never knew renal failure could be due to dry only food!
How and what is used to "bait" water?![]()
