Speaking of cats, last I heard, Rufus was spending the night at the vet. How is he doing these days?
That dummy is just fine. He basically had an upset stomach.
Where's that gofundme link "Rufus night at the vet" stay?
It was almost as much as the OP, more than $4K. We were leaving for a two week trip to Scotland the next day so we went ahead and had everything done right then. Xray, blood work, ultrasound, etc. They gave him fluids, antibiotics, appetite stimulant, and kept him overnight. Then my MIL stayed at our place and watched him for the next week making sure he got his meds.
Was it expensive? Yes
Could we have saved some money on his bills if we had waited till it wasn't the weekend and after hours? Also yes.
But we would have spent twice that by delaying our trip and rearranging our flights, stays, etc. We were also pretty confident that he was going to be fine. He just looks really stupid with a giant rectangle shaved on either side of his stomach.
A lot of people will think it's insane to spend that on a cat and I get it. But we don't have kids and our pets are part of our family. We are fortunate enough to be able to swing a bill like that. But there was a time where we didn't have that kind of money. We still would have made it work. I can't think of a single vet that doesn't have a payment plan option for stuff like that.
Anyways here's some pics of that dummy
