Also, my husbands parents had to rush their 9 yr old dog to the vet one night cause it had gastric dilation. They wanted 200 dollars before they would see him. He ended up having to be put to sleep.
And another story.. my friend had a dog that was bleeding everywhere. She had to take it to the emergency vet and the vet wanted 500.00 upfront to treat him.. since she didn't have it.. she had to take him home and keep him in the pet carrier and let him die.
I don't understand how these people that love animals SO much.. they go to school to work with animals for years because of the love they have for them.. just can tell people to take their babies home and watch them die. It scares me because on two different weekends I had to take both of my dogs to the vet cause they had got coccidiosis at 2 different times.. they wanted 100.00 a piece before they'd even see either of them. .. but what if it would have been parvo or something worse and I didn't have the money to pay for the treatment right then. It would kill me to have to let me precious baby die because the emergency vet wouldn't do treatment unless I had the money right then!
