Woogie Man~I hope your little one gets better soon. I'm sorry you had to go through that. |
we are not sure and hopefully nothing!
he had an issue when he had his neuter pre-op bloodwork done and his heart actually stopped (the vet was able to revive him) .. she has no idea what happened and frankly, neither do i....bentley is just a very excitable puppy (he could NOT sit still if his life depended on it...he loves life and every person in it and get sooooo excited about everything) ... he is such a sweet sweet puppy!
the tests the quoted me (the ones i have to have done before seeing the cadiac specialist) are:
superchem/CBC/urinalysis, blood cell differation, internal organ func. screen, electrocardiogram, radiology package (test, exposure, interpretation) ... the list goes on and on...
oooh and they are charging me $29 for someone to hold bentley during one of the tests...that is on my itemized quote
