Another vets bill

[dytkos 17,531]

My old dog (11+) may have mouth cancer, his top front gums have rotted and his teeth are loose and manky, had 2 lots of anti biotics which cleared the infection initially but my vet (who is ok although she works for a "company" who took over the old practice when the owner retired) sees him quite a bit as she walks hers down by me, recommends he has his top set removed so that the gums can heal over, she's hopeful it's not a tumour and thinks we'll know better in a month, taking a biopsy as well but not sending it yet ( even more cash if they send it) so I've left him up there and will ring to pick him up later.

She asked if I wanted an estimate, I laughed and she did as she knows my views on "the practice" on the whole but we're looking at about £300 done £100 already and did £500 on the bitches ear in sept. Happy days

Cheers, D.

if it come to having all the top teeth removed....wouldn't something kinder be an option mate

[dytkos 17,531]

Just the ones between the fangs mate, give him every chance first, he's my best mate and bouncing but yeah that's the next option unfortunately.

They have you over a barrel,being dog men,your dogs are everything.It comes down to economics in the end,as much as you love your animals you can't let the family go hungry.Ah fck it,they could do with losing a bit of weight.
