I do not know if this has anything to do with the size if Princess, but we had a few very expensive problems. She is now 8 months and weighs almost 3 pounds. About 2 months ago she got very ill (i had "many a posts" about this). She supposedly had gotten kennel cough right when or before we got her and it wasnt treated right. All of a sudden in one days time she got very, very sick. We had to drive her 2 hours away to a specialist hospital where she was kept in an incubator for a total time of 2 weeks. She had gotten pnuemonia and couldnt breathe. Her lung then had a hole in it from the pnuemonia and doctors had to "tap" into them to take the air out. It was a nightmare!! To make a long story short, her vet bill was $7,660. But, we love her so much we couldnt let her die, which the doctor said she 100% would have if she didnt get all this special care. I guess my piece of advice would be to get pet insurance. |
