Well, I just dropped my YOWLING old man off at the vet for his surgery tomorrow. They were very nice about allowing me to drop off the night before because they don't open till 9am, and I'm at work by 7:30am.

The estimate for the entire shebang is $385.00. They had a breakdown, but I didn't look at it very closely. $125.00 for the cleaning, $90 for the extractions. I totally forgot that they "clean" the teeth when they do extractions, so I wasn't expecting that amount in there. Oh well. I guess it is only right to do it, lol. Silly me just doesn't think sometimes.

There was an option to not do bloodwork, but I want to know how he's doing, so they're doing a senior blood panel on him. There was also an option to NOT give post surgical pain meds. How could anyone refuse their animal pain meds after surgery is beyond me!! I can't even imagine the poor creatures wondering what they did so wrong that they have to hurt so badly. It should be mandatory, not an option. That's just my opinion.

So, say a prayer for my boy, that he comes through this ok. I know he's old and frail, I just want to hold him again and know he'll be feeling better.

Just want to thank Honey's special angel for her generous donation toward his surgery. I won't say her name, but she's one in a million.
