Over Night At Vet

[Nyboy]

Clients 13 year old dog became very sick tonight. I bought him to emergency clinic, could not get in touch with owner. I had to pay bill before leaving $3,467. only in NY.

Not only in NY.

Oh my lord 3,467.00 what in the saints did they do for that kind of a
price tag

No kidding? I guess I'm a bad person but before a $1000 vet bill, dead dog walking.

What was wrong with dog?

 

[baymule]

I am stunned. I am so stunned that my fingers don't even know what to say. Wow.

For that much money, did you get a clone of the dog? A younger, newer version of the old, sick original?

 

[PennyJo]

I was a vet orthopedic we would charge allot more but
just for some tests or a urine sample ?

Dog died ultra sound showed liver one big mass of cancer. That bill was only to try and stabilize dog, I was hopping to keep dog alive till Sun when owners get home. I still haven't talked to owners I think they might be on their boat. I only had dog for 2 days, owners knew some thing wasn't right with dog. While there was nothing my kennel did I hate that it happened on my watch.

Seed I agree with you, I would not spend that kind of money on a 13 year old dog myself.

 

[so lucky]

I hope you don't get stuck with that bill. If the owners knew there was something wrong with the dog, they should have left it at the vet in the first place, not a kennel. What a mess!

I have no worries about them paying bill this is their 2nd dog with me. We go back over 20 years. I think wife was in denile about dog.
