Vet bill

June 28th, 2008 at 08:52 pm

I had to take my little holly to the vets today. She has been scratching her ear a lot and it was all tangled up. I had her groomed yesterday and took her to the vet today.
She does have an ear infection, so that was almost $90 for the visit and medicine.
Sometimes it seems to me like doggie visits cost more than people visits. I am just glad that she is feeling better.

The braves won yesterday and I won 4 games of mah jong, so that is $5 to add to my challenge money.
Prev. total $15,677.00
today 5.00
new total $15,683.00

    Hope Holly feels better soon!

    My Henry's vet visits *definitely* cost more than my doctor's visits, since there's no insurance to cover him (I know there is vet insurance, but it doesn't cover pre-existing conditions and that's mostly what he needs).

    Hope Holly puts up with the ear meds (and cleaning) well. Henry has a chronic ear infection but he's learned that an ear-wash every other day really does make him feel better (of course, the treat I give him after I do each ear helps make the experience tolerable as well!)

    Oh, I feel for you this week! With a chronically ill kitty, we pay more in pet health care than people health care it seems! This past Tuesday, my trouble-free boy cat broke a tooth and had to go in to have the root removed. He had also been having some skin problems. I took the other cat along because she was due for quarterly blood work. Tuesday was a $500+ day at the vets. Ouch! But they are all happy and worth it.

    Hope little Holly is feeling A-OK!

    my 12 year old Shih Tzu has been making potty mistakes inside. She has ongoing bladder stones which require, x-rays to see if they are back, well I don't have $200. Dealing with an aging pet is very costly. I want to help her, but can't right now. My income is way too high for low cost clinics in colo. and insurance won't cover her. Frown
