We went to our regular vet which they did xrays, pain medication, blood work etc and that was $500. They referred us to a neurologist, which is where the other $2000 went. They are keeping her overnight and she is going to get steroids, pain med., and a neck brace. They said that can help the situation possibly temporarily but not completely and eventually surgery would be needed. An mri is about $2000 plus the surgery of $6000 i would be shelling out a total of about $10,000. I do not have that. On top of that they told me the surgery has about a 60% success rate, and its harder on small dogs. i am so stressed out, don't know what to do and i hate to see my baby in pain. |
