Glad your vet is part owner as that will help with bill I hope |
I hope Daisy will improve soon. I know how stressful it is for all. I used the Care Credit for Pixie's recent LP surgery and was able to put her 2300.00 bill on interest free payments for 12 months. I think most ER clinics accept them. It is really easy to apply for, they usually will do it with you right there and you get an immediate answer. It is such a good thing to have on hand.
My Cali is on Atopica for severe allergies and had bad IBD. I didn't know it was also being given for IBD. Cali has had almost no tummy problems since going on it so maybe it works.
