A Day At The E-Vet

So Spike's bloody paw, ended up swelling to about three times the normal size by morning.


We headed to the E-Vet.
Were told about the $150 charge just to be seen.
Waited over an hour.




Finally saw the Vet who said she wanted to take X-Rays.
Were told about the minimum $370 charge if we got X-Rays.
Had to leave the pup for about three hours.
Went back to pick him up.
Nothing stuck in his paw.
Nothing broken.
***UPDATE*** He does have a broken toe!
Was told he had an "angry paw."
We need to give him antibiotics.
And an anti inflammatory.
Headed home $415 lighter.
Pup gets home, is happy and lovey.
His paw is back to normal size.
*Sigh*
Tomorrow we bring him to daycare to "keep an eye on him"
...and submit our claim to pet insurance.
Fingers crossed!!!

  1. Poor Spike! Owwie!! I would be rushing to the vet too, if I saw a paw like that. (Isn't it terrible how those e-vets gouge you simply because they CAN!?!??). I hope your pet insurance covers this!
