And yes UK is the only country in the whole world that still requires the 6 month rabbies injection to pass its course even though the blood test passed as well. He is microchipped and is completely up to date with everything. I am still waiting on my Drs decision. BTW my operation is not life threatening at all but does need to be done fullstop! Quarrantine is out of the ? I think. Truly he will hate it; I beleive they crate them up literally 23 hours a day. It just food potty and crate and very very little, if any, playtime. I found a hotel (dog hotel) a beautiful one near to me. First major problem is that they charge $55 a night. But they get their own little room, it is big new and clean there are three indoor play areas, staff, other dogs etc. I am thinking to approach them and tell them my situation. Maybe for a lnogterm stay of 2-3 months there would be a fair discount in the rate. I haven't passed by yet to see the place in the reality but it looks clean safe and just what the doctor ordered (as the saying goes) but if it remains at $55 per night it is a no no. I am still working on all options and keeping my fingers crossed that my Dr will allow me to stay on. I would have had the operation here and be done with all this mental chaos...but the cost of this operation in the States is astronomical; even as a 'cash patient' it is way over the top...we don't need to go there. One thing I know for sure is that there is NO WAY I am giving up Bertie, absolutely NO WAY in a million years. I have to be repsonsible as a 'parent' to him and not abandon him just because. There is a solution I know, just I have to keep on searching to find a reasonably priced solution that's all. I will also post up a notice in my local grocry store here and see the response...you never know. Thank you all so so much for your kind support. It was and is worth so much to me. Kind of gives you strength and motivation knowing that others are on your side and know and feel what it is like. Thank you once again! |
