    They probably put the "no payment due at this time" in very small print too. The better to get your heart pumping overtime.

    You get started on your PT next week, right? I hope all goes well and
    you are back to 100% in no time.

    Unfortunately, you can probably expect the final total to be much more. Bobcat had back surgery last November. The grand total was over $200,000!!!!!!!
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    It's funny- here all things medical are cheaper anyway- plus there are 15 years in between. The hospital room in my case was about 300 Euro (we didn't have Euro then) and the surgery without the anesthesia- so the biggest part of the bill- was like 5000 Euro.
    A bargain compared to yours
