Ya, after this happened I was such a mess I needed a bit away from the computer to deal with it and pull myself back together, so close to loosing Portia to epilepsy it really threw me through a loop!

Moose is doing MUCH better. We did the final closing on him a week ago yesterday, he'll have staples on until this coming Sunday to make sure it's all the way healed! His hair isn't growing back very well, but he's eating/drinking/peeing normally again and normal stool again finally - so I've told his dad I highly recommend he continue with my vet since she knows Moose and will be fair on prices and get some money set aside to have him checked for Thyroid and Cushings, I wanted to do the thyroid test at least for him - but now feel like I need to be as careful as I possibly can be so I don't have to worry about paying for Benjamin!

Thankfully I put insurance on him the day I got him, so insurance will cover a lot of the major expenses, but depending on the specialists and the clinics they work for that I may have to use to get to the bottom of things, I may have to pay upfront and wait for reimbursement which will make things a bit difficult while I'm waiting for reimbursement! But I have friends that'll help me if they know I can repay as soon as I get an insurance check - and a lot of the specialty clinics I've used will take payment straight from the insurance company if they know your dog is insured! I'm so glad I insured him - and we're past the 30 day wait! So they should cover the majority and allow me to do whatever my vets and I feel is best for Benjamin!!!
