How much have you spent???

[furrykidsmother]

Over $500.00. Our Gidget after having 2 babies tried to give birth to a stillborn a week later. Off to the emergency for a c-section. She was great though, had the c-section came home that afternoon and continued to nurse and clean her babies (kittens).

Justin jokes that we should have part of his paycheck direct-deposited straight to the vet.

This month, so far we've spent over $500 at the vet. $200 was for Bitsy's and Nacey's vaccinations, heartguard, and Bitsy's allergy pills. The rest (about $350 thus far) was for Roxy who has been having a lot of problems. We will be taking Roxy to a specialist who charges $100 just for the office visit.

About $1000 for Penny when she was sick a couple of years ago, the Vet could not figure out what was wrong with her which nearly killed her . Ended up being an infection and the vet only decided to test her at the last minute when she was very sick .

I wont see that particular vet anymore, i dont trust her .

$900. for Laceys first knee ligament surgery.

I think in the beginging of finding out Tristan ( Golden/ Chessie) had Lymphoma last August - the bill from the initial visit to the oncologist was over $700.

in 5 months of treating his cancer, I think I spent between $4000 and $5000 .

Thank GOD and all my Golden Retreiver friends, someone sent me to IMOM ( In Memory of Magic) a charity that helps pets whose people can't afford those kinds of huge vet bills.
