So we went to the vet thinking ok this is probly just a URI..yea...far from it. I didn't really know what she was saying because she was speaking in vet mumbo jumbo (lovley how they do that) and she said he might have a polup(sp?), he has a severe heart murmor, he has clamitia (which great can be passed to us). He's currently on Antibiotics to clear the clamitia and she said if he has a URI it will clear that too but she doesn't think he dose. And now because of this sever heart murmor we have to do all these test, figure.
So she wants to do the following.
Hospitalization (1/2 day) $64.00
Radiography-set up $76.00
Radiography/plate 2 of them $94
In hospital collection services $27
CBC (cell blood count) $56
Full panel $93
T4 w/panel $47
Cystocentesis $46
Urinalysis-complete $59
Ultrasound-Cardiac with dropper $401.00
DNA test $148
Tax $57.78
That is all for heart murmor test...
Then for his throat she wants him to see a specialist which is to have more test done.
The first thing she asked before she told us about the possible things to do for him was do I want to keep himShe said because it's going to be very costly. I was like um you are joking right? Of course I want to keep him!
So I'm not doing anything right now. I'm giving my boss the paper with the estimate on it and I think when I go to work at my vet we will bring him there and see what he says. The guy who owns the vet has been a friend of my boss and her mom for many years before the vet even got out of school so we know he won't jerk us around and make us do stupid test that are irrelevent.
All in all I'm pretty ticked at the lady who sold him to me who said oh there's nothing at all wrong with him (mean while on his medical record from her it says heart murmor suspected). I'll be e mailing her wanting a explanation and I will be e mailing the breeder that he's from and the breeder who owns the cat who sired him. The vet said the breeder should have known about this.
I'll probly add more later there was alot of information.
