My Poor Scruff Is Sick. RE-CHECK UPDATE 2/2/107 PG 3

[Reachoutrescue]

I called my vet to see how much they charge and they said since there are several surgical ways that it can be done they would have to evaluate the dig before they could give an estimate. But I am sure it can't be as much as the vets estimates that you have been given. I would take and get a second opinion I think.

Thank you Melissa for calling for me.

I have taken him for a second opinion. The vet said the same as the first. I found a vet in Plainfield, Illinois that will do it as soon as Saturday for between $800 and $1100. Every other vet had no openings till Monday...I don't understand that, or they were double the price. I am working on borrowing the money or part of the money even from my children's grandma. She said she would call me tomorrow and let me know if it is a go or not. I pray she says yes. I don't want to wait until Saturday, but I have to. I just hope Scruff can wait. Thank you again everybody.

Tracy - is there anything you can give him that might help a bit? Cranberry capsule powder in some wet food? Something to increase the acidity of his urine?

It might dissolve just a tiny bit, and make him more comfy til surgery.

Anyone else here know about this?

Tracy, I'm so sorry to hear this. When Storm was blocked and needed surgery I just had to use my credit card. I think I ended up needing to use 2 credit cards because they needed the money asap. I hope that you'll be able to get the money that you need and that Scruffy will be okay. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Have you ever heard of Care Credit? I pm'd you about it but I'll also post it here so others can see the link. Care Credit. Maybe this will help.
