Update ~ The vet just called.
Big Al had one tooth taken out instead of two.
Was doing fine.
I pick him up this evening.
Now, to just see how well he takes his meds. lol
~ A very relieved Grandma ~
(he is my d's cat that I take care of and call Grandson.)
This is my Grandson, Big Al.
He is going to the v e t in an hour.
He is having a mini surgery
to clean his teeth
and remove two or more.
Last week, he went in for his check up
and shots.
The vet said he needed to have
his teeth cleaned and he might
have a cavity.
When I called to get an estimate
and make the appointment,
I was told what he'd written in his notes.
I don't even want to tell you
what the two estimates were.
Big OUCH in the pocket.
That's what credit cards are for.
I was really shocked.
Twice what I thought it would be.
It all adds up.
The iv, senior profile blood work,
30 or 60 minutes of anesthesia,
and you get the idea.
Dollar signs.
Big Al is going to have a lot done.
More than I thought.
Silly me.
I thought a quick cleaning.
Nope, his thirteen years
has gotten to him.
I'm a bit worried.
Maybe like any Grandma would be.
What ifs ...
You all know how that goes.
So, I'll be close to the phone.
In case, they need to call me.
I'll be nursing him back
to his old self
the rest of the week.
He's really a sweet big cat.
Always has been.
Anyway, I thought I'd let you all know.
Maybe a few thoughts
of him would help.
Couldn't hurt ...
Happy straw hat day
to everyone.
How do you all find these things ?
