I have been that person sitting in the waiting room sobbing uncontrollably. <br /><br />I hope Betty heals fast.angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10580426976030683874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929896.post-27358040328117009452010-05-03T18:03:26.701-05:002010-05-03T18:03:26.701-05:00And those emergency vets are like 3times the charg...And those emergency vets are like 3times the charge of your regular vet, aren't they? At least they are down here. We've had to do the emergency place twice due to bufo toads, which are the daggone poisonous things that can only be found in Florida and Texas. Bad thing is that dogs love to chase frogs and the toad's skin is covered with poison and releases from the glands when bitten and licked, and voila - dog hearts stop from the poison. Our middle dog, Justine, is addicted to the damn toads/frogs and twice has cost us at least $500 for catching them. Goes into seizures and all the vet can do is put her on i.v. fluids and monitor on an EKG overnight. I think they give her Ativan or something like it to slow her heart rate down, too. And they always ask us to pay $300 up front with an open credit card! Bah humbug!<br /><br />Hopefully Betty can get through this without ripping out the stitches again. I know how hard it's got to be to keep her calm and not moving.Arahttp://myedibleyard.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
