Emergency Veterinarian's - Damn!?!

Don't get me wrong - I'm glad they keep the lights on at wee hours of the night - but damn - $500 big ones for some stitches??

Somehow the side gate got left open so my boys decided to take a trip down the street. TJ came right back, no problem. The stupid beagle (term of endearment) didn't come back until almost midnight. He came back to the back gate (wooded area) - let him in and he kinda staggered around and then flopped down. That's when we saw this 4" long gash down to the muscle and tendons on his rear leg.
Two hours later after he is checked over, given a local and a handful of stitches we get the bill - damn.

Compared to two months ago when TJ had surgery done at the regular vets - full blown put under, cyst removed and all - $350 bucks.

Again - I am so glad they are there - and Rusty will be fine, no muscle damage - but you know - damn.

Vent over -

Ron
