I too have been hit with a high vet bill (a routine teeth cleaning). I am on the fence over the issue too because I know I want the best vets looking after my pets, and I do feel they need to be paid for their knowledge/experience however, I think of all the pets that could have homes, or care if those prices were not so outrageous. People say that is just part of responsible pet ownership, and I do agree to some degree, but there are a lot of people who would adopt a pet that otherwise do not, or take them in for more routine care, if those prices were not so crazy. Anyways, off my soap box on that issue, I hope your baby gets better and the dry eye is manageable from this point on.
