I have a pup who was recently hospitalized with liver and gall bladder issues. They scared me when they started talking about removing the gall bladder. It is not simple surgery in dogs like it is in humans. There is at least a 30% mortality rate...perhaps higher. Make absolutely sure you trust whoever might be doing this surgery. I personally would have taken my Olivia to Texas A&M if she ended up needing the surgery. Fortunately she did not..she is not totally out of the woods and needs ultrasounds every 3 - 4 months but so far, so good. I know A&M is far for you...but the one thing about them is that if a pup is hospitalized, you only need to put 50% of the bill up front and they make a six month payment plan with the final bill.
Best wishes to you...I will keep your baby in my thoughts and prayers. Do hope the meds work for her!
Oh...and as for bills, I totally get it. My Olivia's bill after three days in ICU was right at $3,000. Insurance is good, but you cannot get it for a pre-existing condition. |
