Anyway thanks everyone for your concern. Since my husband died I only have my two precious dogs and if anything happened to them I don't know what I would do and if I have poor energy....that is understandable.

Wow, that sounds really high ($479), but I guess it depends on location. I just paid $425 for 7 teeth pulled, dentals done, micro-chip and neuter plus 24 cans of wet ID food. The vet went over all the fees with us during our consult, so we werent surprised at the cost - expecting it. About the wait, imo they should have called as the emergencies came in and gave you the option to re-schedule. Glad that he is home safe and sound - and so sorry for the loss of your husband.
