Guess this sort of stuff happens everywhere. I rescued a 15-year-old Yorkie a few years ago who had been dumped at the animal shelter. Supposedly, the owner had called and said she had been spayed. Well, three weeks later we had an emergency hysterectomy at a cost of $365.00. I decided to call the same vet later (not giving my name) to find out how much it was to spay they quoted me less than $100.00. When I confronted the vet when I took her back for a check-up she cited risk as the reason it was so much more. I made it very clear to her that "risk" costs absolutely nothing and that it was the dog taking the risk, not her. I never went back to that clinic. Guess I'm in the wrong profession. But then, I'm the kind that would take chicken and vegetables as payment. SOOOO GLAD Boo is better. Keep an eye on him and we'll all pray it's not going to happen again.
