My dog had a lump on her stomach ..... Took her to the vet ... surgery scheduled.
Just like a human, nothing to eat the night before anesthesia. Next morning I take her to my vet in Ft Myers.
They put her under ... remove the growth and some surrounding tissue, send blood/tissue samples to a lab for testing, monitor her until 5 that afternoon, give me 2 medications to be administered daily, schedule follow-up visit to remove staples.
While I'm waiting for her to be brought up the surgery is being explained, the bill itemized. $340.00 ...... That's right, $340.00.
Granted this is a dog but does anyone see where I'm going with this? Just a double occupancy room at my local hospital would cost more than that. (A room that I wouldn't take if staying at a hotel)
It's the cost that's the problem ....
