Sundays Emergency

Sundays Emergency

What started out as a quiet Saturday night, but then it turned on me. I noticed when I was walking my dog YOYO she started to have a hard time peeing and taking a poop. I called the Vet and he told me to keep a close eye on her because she has a liver shunt in her. That's a extra vein going to her liver. So with the right food she was always fine.

Sunday morning YOYO was still having problems and I called the VET and he said bring her right in. After x-rays and a fast urine test it turns out she has a bladder stone in her half the size of a golf ball and one blocking her so she can't really piss.

Right now I can't eat, I keep on walking around, and I smoke one smoke after anther one.

The next big problem is how do I tell Eric who can't get back into the USA? Then I can't wait to see the bill on Tuesday anther how the hell am I going to be able to pay this off. Emergency surgery on a Sunday with the head Vet doing it.


I'm just freaking out today!

This is emergency surgery so I can only think of what the cost is going to be.

Damn man sorry to hear. My vet told me that they have had people bring their pets in for emergency operations only to find out it's gonna cost a few grand. Said that on many occasions they have had patients break down at the front desk in tears wondering how they were gonna pay for it only to have a total stranger waiting in the lobby offer up their credit card. Hopefully you have a little good karma coming your way and it'll work out.

Ive seen that to first hand. The last time she had problems when we found out about the liver shunt it cost 1200 but they let me pay it off, I'm praying they let me pay this off to.
If not I don't know whats going to happen?

I had made sure that Eric was sitting down when I told him, all he could say is OH my god! At first I wasn't going to tell him, but I just thought the scare would be to big and he would notice it when he finally saw the fluff ball.

Its 1:45 and I just got off the phone with the Vet. And she pulled throw. She even licked the Vets hand, but he said the next 24 would be important to make sure she can pee.

What a long like 5 hours, I didn't think I could smoke so many marlboros! I just want to run down their and bring her right home! So first thing Monday morning you bet I'm going down with one of her toys.

Now for my heart attack when I see the bill!

Anyone have a few grand around to help out?

It is great reading that the surgery was successful.

Thanks wnc

I was real worried because of the shunt with her liver, now the big thing thats vet bill, and I don't have health ins. for a heart attack!

At the end of the day your pets fine and thats all that matters. So if you cant afford to pay them so what? What are they gonna do? Unoperate? Do your best and let them know your situation and it'll work out. Always does. ;)

hi
Yes I know, but that shock of seeing the final bill, I'm going to need a hospital bed! Looks like Im going to have to put off seeing my lover for some time.

Many do know how much a pet is like a member of the family, like a child.
You seem now to have an additional debt with the vet. I am sure he will work out a payment plan.

I have been reading of your difficult time with your lover Eric. I would suggest you continue attempts on being close to him.

Yes, Im thinking about it

So how much was the bill ?

Ok I got back from the vets office to see my YO and she was up and playing and wanting out of her cage. Also I found out that she ate throw her IV last night, that's my girl!
The Vet told me that if she pees today that wensday I'll be able to bring her home! I did bring two of her toys down to see her, and yes it was hard to leave her!
I did ask if I could pay it off and they came up with a price I can pay every month but I have a feeling that its going to be a long time! I'll find out the dollar amount on wensday.

You might contact these people they do some financial aid you may be able to get help from them~ do it now before she comes home!!

Thanks for the link
But I already came out with a payment plan with them

it is to late for this one but here in the usa you can get pet medical insurance, our 4 pups have it and its like $15 a month and it would have totally covered all that. check into it for next time

Its to late for the insurance, because now she has a record of kidney stones.

Okay .. maybe I'm heartless. I love my cat, but I'd put her down before I spent $1,200 to put in a liver shunt.

well she is back home and she bitched at my the whole ride home, final cost 2114.00

Holy shit! :wtf:

1200 +2100 = an animal that will always be ill.

At what point do you say ... enough already? 5K? 10? Infininty?

Guess I don't understand how anyone could love an animal so much, to take on that kinda debt and future cost- for a dog was not sound -is an amazement to me.

the 1200 was 2 or 3 years ago. this was kidney stones and what was I going to do put her down?
staight people don't get it that gay peoples pets are like our kids, you wouldn't put you own kid down because they are sick.
