I am very happy for all of you, Bitsy, Sophia, and Peyton, that the big day is over and everyone is home safe and sound.
The price you listed is what I was quoted by my vet. Argh! X-rays are $100 each. I live in the way out burbs, not the big city.
I'm sorry your furbabies had to wait all day without food or water.
I try to be understanding with my vet because I know they do emergency surgeries and have urgent patients, but I hate the idea of my guys suffering. Max suffers without food. It is so hard to deny him breakfast or water on surgery days.
The tech should have picked up Sophia when she started pulling on the lead. I handed Max to an employee who used only one arm, no hands, to hold him as she flipped through his chart. Max is not a tiny dog. If it had not been an emergency eye surgery he was going in for, I would have grabbed him back.
I really like our doctor, but I have such a hard time trusting anyone with my boys.
