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. |
I mentioned this same thing on another thread and was flamed for even thinking such a thing.
However in this case, I can totally understand that they will not respond to her phone calls. There are privacy laws when it comes to these things and these people could get into trouble. They have given their answer.
You just have to console yourself that you did what you thought was best at the time and that it is now out of your control.
It's not easy, but many of us have been through it.
