How about $2000 worth?
Sigh.
I HATE this part of pet ownership, almost worse than their deaths and all of that heartache.
Sprocket has a salivary cyst that is now about the size of a good baseball on his neck. It's a common thing apparently in Boxers and a few other breeds of dogs. No pain but eventually if it continues to grow (and it most likely will) it will hinder his ability to eat, swallow and even breathe.
Major surgery at A&M, our vet won't even consider doing it.
Tyler better start saving his money now, it is his dog. I just love him more.

I have a dog who needs to go in for dental work. We have been putting it off but now I am starting to feel bad so I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and get it done. Animals are expensive!
Well just look at that face - what else can you do?

Oh noes, he is just gorgeous. I love my puppy so, he is just like one of our kids...so that makes 5 kids I got here.
I hate it when this crap happens. And then the pup looks at you like that and you KNOW you're gonna be out 2 grand.
Poor Sprocket. Is it likely to recur? Not that it matters. I took creepy Lola in for breast cancer surgery. 2 years later I had to have her put down. I'm still hearing about that one.
Aww... he's so cute!
:( So sorry Carol. Good luck!!
Simple answer: yes. Evidence: $4,000 in vet bills for my now deceased dog, Muffin: Alex, the cat, is over $1,000 mark, including $200+ for various tests last week.
Pets are family! I pray the surgery goes well.
I hope all goes well.
We have a very sick cat here and to be honest there is nothing more they can do for him so we are waiting for a paycheck to do the only thing we can. And the day we do it will be the saddest day in my life.
The LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.
The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.
The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.
The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"
Thanks you guys. As per usual when I take one of my beasts or kids to the doctor, the problem gets all better for no reason.
The bump is back down to about golfball size. I hope it stays this way for a good long while, so I can save the money for the ineveitable.
I'd spend that much on Dubbin, however I would not spend that much on my adult child.
aaaawww!!! poor sprocket!!! he is such a cute doggg... love him.. and hope hes okay
