Update On Lady - LADY IS GONE.....

[buttercup132]

I'm glad she pulled through ok. Now lets just hope she keeps getting better.

Ahh okay I didn't realize he had spayed her and done the splenectomy, I guess I misread, but I do still think it's very high, seems like it should only have been around 500-600 dollars total, maybe a couple more hundred for tests, but not 1500=/ If I am able I can try to send another donation but I can't just yet. Glad she's doing okay. Hope she keeps improving.

Can you ask the vet for a breakdown of the costs, say it's for your records as you are going to get your non-profit papers in the mail?

That way, each cost has to be justified.

Or is there a veterinary board you can double-check with?

I am very sorry that you have learned such an expensive lesson. I hope you can find a doctor that you feel more comfortable talking to and working with in the future if you are going to continue taking in special need dogs. You certainly don't want to find yourself in this position again. Good thoughts and prayers going out for Lady.

They gave me invoices with the break downs. It cost 933.50 for the surgery, 274.28 for the first day she was there (two fecal, uranalysis, blood work, medication for parasites, and office visit), and 311.52 for yesterday and today (covering the coombs test which was 102.33, 4 PCV, 1 Ecg Pre-Anesthetic, 1 hospitalization, 1 blood drawing, and medication, ie steroids, pain killer, and tummy pills). It does all add up, but they are very expensive, they are very good doctors, but very high priced. So that is it. I have gone over it time and time again....and my head is just spinning. Thanks for the support PT and the kind words for Lady. She is feeling okay as she is barking at the noises outside right now. She is happy to be home I think.

I am so glad to hear she's doing better, Tracy. Please give that sweet girl some kisses from me. GET BETTER LADY AND BE ALL WELL!!! Don't panic. There has to be a way to get this bill paid. I'm so happy he spayed her while was at it too. Good for him. I know she's going to feel like a new girl soon. Thank you so much for taking care of her. You're a great person!!

Glad Lady is home and happy. Mr Vet will just have to wait for his money - what's he going to do - undo the surgery???

I will be able to send a further donation soon as Mr Bank Manager has kindly refunded some of the extortionate fees they have been charging me
