I know that doesn't help your friend feel any better at this point, I pray that the dog recovers.

| They want $4500 ufpront to observe her for 3 days to see if she will make it as she is in a coma -- my friend does not have the money right now so what is the best way to get the money through care credit? |

| Sounds a bit strange to me that she's being charged at all. I would think the vet that administered the meds would be covering the expense.

| it was the dermatologist an hour a way she had to take her to internal medicine specialty hospital to be treated for seizures as dermatologist does not have that kind of facility but she will be getting reimbursed from this dermatologist if i have anything to do with it |

| Some dogs are sensitive to Ivermectin. I don't think that is the vet's fault unless the dose was totally out of line. I would wonder if they gave this poor little dog a test dose to see if it was sensitive to it. |
