I ended up spending like $300 at the vet because he got a few teeth extracted, rabies shot, and a host of other shots, and some chewable heartworm meds.
He did great and I had him after just a few short hours. I can't say a pound or a place that charges like 40-60 is bad because I really don't know, but I wasn't going to take Cesar there. My last dog was a shep/chow mix and he weighed about 50 lb's full grown so I wasn't really worried but when you're dealing with these guys, it happens.
My grandparents had 2 yorkies. Bailey and Billie Jean. She dropped Billie Jean off and when she got home there was a message on the machine from the vet saying that she died as soon as they put her under.
I made sure I got total assurance from this vet. If he showed any inkling of "it's possible..." I wouldn't have got it done but he assured me 100% that Cesar would be fine. |
Im sorry to hear that
stories like that make it so scary. I just wish she was spayed when I got her and I didnt have to be the one to make this horrible decision.
I will be asking my vet how many spays he has done and how many dogs have died.
