If You Had an Extra $1,500 ....
What would you choose to spend it on? A fun, warm getaway maybe? Or some new furniture? Or how about kidney stone surgery for your dog. Oh yes, that's what I would choose. Seriously, the cost of things in the dog health care world is worse than the people world. We've already had x-rays and blood work to prepare for surgery day (tomorrow) and part of the special surgery package is sending the stones off to the University of Minnesota to be analyzed so we can figure out what special food she needs so this doesn't happen again. So for the next two weeks I get to have a dog recovering from surgery with one of those cone things around her neck and I don't get a warm vacation or new furniture. Good thing she is warm and cuddly!

that is such a bummer, i know a lot of people who have had the same situation what can you do? they do have pet insurance but who wants to put it out if you might not use it! those cones are a pain! is that a picture of her? i thought she was lighter.
Dog kidney stones? I've never heard of such a thing! Good thing she has such a cute face...
Abby just said you could buy 2 new dogs for $1500.00...or maybe that's just asking for a $3000.00 problem!?
Good luck...she really is darling!
Is it wrong and slightly selfish that I secretly wish you could just put her down, and use the cash to come see me??
Kidding.. OF COURSE.
BHH. May all go smoothly, and may she not look SO dorky in her cone that the other dogs point and stare.
We will send tiny Daisy-dog well-wishes her way.
Bless your little hearts, and the little heart (and kidneys) of that very expensive little pup. She had better learn to say "I love you" like that other dog in the you tube videos...cause she totally owes it to you.
WOW. You are a good human being to not put a limit on your willingness to love and fight! That is a lucky little dog, and good luck!
