When I had to take Cruiser from my vet to the emergency vet because he needed oxygen and constand monitoring, the vet went over the charges while I was still holding him. We had to pay the full amount based on what the least care he would need which was over $450.00. I said I didn't ask the price, I asked if you could take care of my baby. I was livid. But, then I remembered same thing happened when we needed an emergency c-section in the middle of the night. They did the surgery but I would not leave my baby and her babies there. I brought them all home and we did fine.
I guess ER's have been stiffed too many times. It breaks my heart to hear about that little one. I hope the mom could take the beby to her reg. vet the next day. These stories serve to remind us that the price of a Yorkie is only the beginning of our financial outlays. |
