I feel sorry for this lady. I have been in this myself. I had a yorkie that was attacked by a pitbull. My local vet stabilized her and sent us to an animal emergency center in a neighboring state because her injuries were so severe. I was told the surgery would be approx., $4000 and I had to pay upfront. I applied and recieved a pet credit card and the vet examined my dog. She told me the surgery may or may not save her. I was emotionally a wreck and gave the go ahead for the surgery. My dog died exactly 4 minutes after she underwent anesthesia. I was billed $2,895 for the surgery! I am still paying for the bill even though I lost my beloved dog. I honestly felt like I had been robbed. My vet later told me that he seriously doubted that the dog could be saved but that he trusted the specialty vets and wanted to give Coco a chance. He was appalled that I was billed the amount I was.
Honestly some vets are only in the job for the money. Pets are big business nowadays and very few vets care about the owners and the heartbreak that a sick animal brings to us humans.
I hope that the OP can move on from this and hopefully one day be blessed with a healthy puppy to love. |
