glad to hear she's feeling better - she looked sooo forlorn in those pictures. Gentle snooter kissies!

[K9soul]

Oh poor baby! . She looks woozy and maybe a bit sore in her pictures . Hoping she heals up quickly and is back to herself soon. I know this had to be quite a financial blow too. My thoughts are with Kia and the whole family ((hugs))

[sabies]

Wow what an experience to go through. Kia and family I am thinking of you and hoping for a full recovery. Keep resting, Kia, you will be ok soon.

[k9krazee]

Feel better soon, Pretty Girl

Actually, that was the cheapest we've had to pay there out of the 4 times having to take a pet there. Got out under $500 this time. We just added it to the $2,400 bill we're already paying monthly on from when the cat was there in December.

Kia seems to be doing OK. She's just lying around, not smacking her jaws as much as she was doing last night. Gave her the antibiotic around 12:30 and will dose her with more painkillers sometime soon before I head out for the day.

Thanks for the update, Andy. Please give Kia gentle smoochies for me.

Oh poor little girl I can imagine how bad she was feeling after all that.
I'm glad to hear she's eating fine and taking all her meds.

More prayers headed her way for a speedy recovery.
(((HUGS))) to you all

They do good work there, but the thing that bugs most locals is that they're a teaching hospital, where they're teaching college student to become vets, so you'd think they wouldn't charge as much as they do, because they charge more than vet offices do.....but again, they have equipment most vets don't have so we have to go there as needed.

Of the 4 pet visits there over the last few years, the total has been about $6,400.....always with payment plans because we never have that kind of extra money sitting around.

Well, I'm glad puppy is okay!!! Michigan is a GREAT vet school. An expensive one too if you are applying out of state.... but I won't get into that. Lol But I'm glad she's doing good. She had a good school to help her. They have a lot of good medical technology there.

We took our cat, Grady, to State 4 years ago for a fractured leg. It was beyond the expertise of our local Vet. Total cost was $1250. However, if we had taken him to the conglomerate in Southfield, it would have been twice that. Our Vet said State's price is lower because it is tax supported.

Whatever - we consider ourselves so lucky that we are so close to such a wonderful facility.
