Thank you guys! I am feeling much better and Layla is doing well with her new antibiotics. The lucky girl has no idea why she is all of a sudden getting a tiny little ball of salami 3 times a day, but I'm sure she doesn't want it to stop lol!
Yesterday we found out just how badly we're being ripped off by our local vet
We went in to pay for the stitches, forgetting that the "ruptured bladder" night she also rushed us in for x-rays. We didn't even see her that night, she just took Layla straight to the back for x-rays and came to tell us she didn't see anything, but we could come back later and she'd try again. I should mention, this isn't the first itme she's wanted to do x-rays. When Layla was overflowing constantly, she wanted to do x-rays then too but we said no. Anyways, the stitches weren't so bad, just $80 or something. Two x-rays, however, was around $150
After we left the vet's office, we got the mail and had a bill from the college. Scott was dreading this one because it was for the urine culture and when we had that done last time through our vet, it was around $180. I opened the bill and the culture and sensitivity was about $70. We were FLOORED. When we went through our local vet, she warned us the culture and sensitivity would be quite expensive, so she wasn't sure if we wanted to go ahead with it. She said for the best results, she'll write the requisition and give us the sample bottle, and we should take the sample ourselves, drive it to the lab at the university ourselves so it is looked at immediately, and she would give us the results when they were in. She got the results and told us the results and charged us $100 more than they charge to just have it done at the college to begin with!!!!
Like Scott said, we came and saw her for the very first time with a dog with a sore arched back who was losing control of her back legs... she must have looked at us with dollar signs in her eyes
