So, what was supposed to be a trip to the vet for jabs and a pre-op check for Rocky's chronic Periodontal disease ended up a day trip that ended up costing over $700 AT PRESENT.
Butch needs what I thought Rocky did. Rocky OTOH has an autoimmune disease where his immune system is attacking Plaque, causing pain, tooth loss and general bad health. If we want him to live more than a yr more(maybe) and not in pain he needs to have ALL his teeth pulled. And prices online show it runs from $1500 to $3000. Tuesday we have an appt with the Vet that does these sorts of things for a pre op and a guestimate of the cost. I have a couple grand from the folks' estate for these sorts of emergencies but it'll clean that out for future ones.
It's ALWAYS something.....
Cheers,
Pat
