Update:
Felt up to calling the specialist today... I made an appointment for March 7, which is the earliest she could be seen. I am still seriously considering going to Tennesee though, just trying to work out the details.

As my vet did give me options, I asked for ballpark amounts on the two surgeries she needs: the LS repair is $2500-4000, and the kidney stone removal is $3000-5000, if done by itself.



These prices seem so high. I don't know what the going rate is, but if UT is significantly less expensive, that is probably the way to go. At least you have an appointment so one step closer to resolution for Tink. I hope she remains stable until then. It might also be worth calling the place on Cape Cod where LittleLily just went with her dog. Do they have any idea if they can remove the kidney stones?
