Sticky
I will succeed!!!
OMG!!! Just called the vets and think I need a stiff drink!
When we got home on Sat morning, two of our rats weren't well. My Dad had been staying to look after our menagerie (2 cats, 1 parrot and 4 rats). He loves the cats and parrot, but he isn't keen on the 'rodents' so fed them, watered them but that was about it.
Anyway, Crash had developed a cyst and was poorly - and cause of his age it'd taken it's toll, so we decided for his sake to put him to sleep. The vet agreed so he went to join the others :-(
Trinity was still fiesty as ever, and the lump in her neck was operable - so we booked her in.
Whilst there we ordered some more worming drops for the cats and indoor cat food.
At the desk I asked for a bill estimate and was told £100 (which was about what I'd guessed for everything). I asked it that was total and was told it was.
But when I called just now to double check - that's just potentially for Trin's surgery!!!
Which, means 2x£16 for the bags of cat food, 2x £9 for the worming drops and £10 injection for Crash is on top!!!
I love my pets and don't mind paying - but the vague 'up to £100' for the surgery is way more than I thought! The irony was the pet store gave me Trin for free when I bought a bigger cage for them! And the rats are the only pets I don't have insurance on...might change that after this! Fingers crossed she pulls through - would be a killer to go to settle the bill and be given her in a box.
Hmmmm...thinks we'll be having green days for a few weeks now to make up for it.
