I am sorry that you too have no support when your babies need help, it sucks!
I have to take the good with the not so good and believe in myself more. I really do feel I know what is best for my dog and one thing is he is so attached to me. Of course if he needed specialist help and I could get it, I would. But I feel at this point trying the simpler less drastic approach is worth a shot.
I suppose what I object to is being told I am a relatively stupid dog mom who knows nothing. That I am not. I carefully researched the ulcer issue before I went to the vet and only when he treated in the way I had read about, I felt it would be ok. His eye is open more now and he seems like his old self and really enjoyed his first walk in a week this morning. So thanks again and praying for a good outcome. Hugs. |
I feel you are doing your best. I hope everything comes out ok for your baby. In NYC it is really expensive to see a specialist so I rely on his regular vet to treat him and determine the best course of action along with my own input. The few times I have taken Thumper to see a specialist it was $200 a consultation visit and that was without any tests being done so I understand the cost issue as well.
I have pet insurance for both my babies but when I got Thumper I did not realize the cost of seeing a vet or that his insurance would not pay for the exam fee. I learned my lesson quickly and when I got Bella I made sure the insurance covered exam fees.
I will pray for your baby.
