She came back last night and seems herself today, nipping toes, chasing cats. Never found out the reason but she didn't have a fever. I'm glad I took her in but have no idea what the outcome would have been if I didn't do anything. She wasn't eating anything. Now she's eating Hills ID for a few days and I'm giving her pepcid and an antibiotic for a few days. Her poops are good, no vomiting.It was a $850 for all of it, a big bill, and I think she needs pet insurance now. If I did more diagnostic tests it would have been twice as much and I just don't think they would have found anything with multiple blood tests and xrays. No fever tells me a lot. So I'm looking for a good dog food for her, I guess that's another thread. Thank you. :aimeeyork:animal-pa |
I would definitely be looking into pet insurance before anything else comes up. $850 is a lot, but really not much for time in the ER. When they do get like that (vomiting and not wanting to eat), xrays should be done almost without exception. Bloodwork also needs to be done most of the time. It could have been much worse. Glad she is okay. Remember, if she were to break a leg or something, that's $3-$5K at a specialty hospital. If you can't put it on a credit card, then insurance is pretty important. |
