My girl Cookie had pups on 1-16-06. She needed an emergency c-section and spay(her uterus ruptured) $800. Next day she wasn't doing well, so I took her back to the emergency vet. She needed a blood transfusion plus other meds and x-ray.$850. Then she went to the day vet to spend the next 10 days, $1500. 3 rechecks at $50 each.
Meanwhile, getting up every 2 hours to feed, burb, potty 5 babies.
They will have their vaccinations, worming, health checks.
They eat expensive food because I feel it's the best for them.
I pay high electric bills for the nursery and indoor facilities for my adult dogs.
It all adds up when you do it right.
Cookie will not have puppies again, but that didn't stop me from doing everything I could to save her life!
She's doing great now, I'm so happy!
