Huge Vet Bill

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

What has been your most expensive vet bill ever? What was wrong with your pet?

we had a dog, she had to undergo surgery to remove a blood clot. the bill came out to over $13.688. took us a long time to pay it off. unfortunately she didnt live long after that.

Nearly $14,000?

Wasn't expecting a number that large.

My Miniature Pinscher Louie has had $4,370 worth of vet bills:

Lateral Luxating Patella Surgery - $1,620

Cancerous tumor removal with partial amputation to right hind foot - $2,750

I got upset when we had some lab work done for our old dog and the bill was almost $300.

about $us 5000 on my last cat Tiffany during her last year she had diabetes and it was causing a few other problems, had to give her injections twice a day before she became too ill and had to be PTS

i had her cremated and some of her ashes turned into a glass paperweight

she was worth every cent and i would pay it again in a heartbeat

Personally I never had to take a pet to the vet. Guess I've been blessed with healthy ones.

What about getting them spayed and or neutered? What about vaccines every year? What about dental procedures? Have you not done any of these?

Well yeah, that... But I was talking about dealing with diseases and surgical things and whatnot.

What does "yeah well that" mean? You did have the things I listed done?

Yes, Smooth.

wonder how much for just clipping the nails lol

I used to do that myself, easier on dogs/cats with clear nails though. Gotta be careful when they have dark colored nails and you cannot see the nerve ending thingy.

That's great that you have such a big heart and want the best for all animals out there.
