Well this morning my Mom took Bella in, the vet told her that she needed surgery and she needed a dental. If she wanted to do both it would be $700!!!! If she just wanted to do the surgery for her anal gland it would be $1000!!!!! My Mom does not have that kind of money. They were not willing to work with her or anything!
Since she was not able to pay for it, they just cleaned it up and sent her home with antibiotics and pain meds. They wanted to re-check her next week to see if it was worse! She left there spending $200
I called my Vet to see what he can do, he said without looking at it and being my Mom he would charge her @$250 He told me do not wait to bring her in, she needs to have a drain put in and stitches.
I called my Mom and told her, My Vet is like ½ hour away (from my Mom)- I told her I would just pay for it- We have to do something and waiting isn’t a good idea!
I left work to meet her there, I knew I would have to sign the authorization paper. My vet said it would be $249.00 he said it is pretty bad, he said it is about 7 days old, My Mom just noticed it today.
She is going to be there a couple hours, so instead of driving home, my Mom is going to go to my house to wait.
So everything worked out, I cannot believe that vet! $1000 for an anal gland surgery?? That is beyond me! I am so thankful to have this Vet- He is just so wonderful!! I m so happy Bella is getting fixed and will be ok! Thank you for your prayers!!
