$1000 Dollar Kitty?



Ok, why is it that we always have emergencies on a holiday? Dear sweet Minnie had an emergency on New Years Day. We had to go to the emergency vet for diarrhea, lethargy, no eating or drinking, and high fever. She had to stay overnight in the hospital with an IV, she got antibiotics and the equivalent of kitty ibuprofen. She is still on antibiotics, which we have to give to her twice a day and she has one more does of kitty ibuprofen. It is a good thing she is so cute because that little visit cost a buddle! Notice her shaved foreleg in the top photo where she recieved her IV. She came home with a cone, which is way to big for her, because she also pulled out her stitches from being spayed. She now has three staples in her belly and we have to watch her so she doesn't rip those out too. Now we have to followup with the reguarly vet. Here's hoping that it doesn't cost as much as the emergency vet!
