A free puppy!?!?!?

I'm glad to see the positive experiences with the vet community. We do try HARD !! Bucko, I'm so glad that she did well today. That condition is unusual, and I'm glad that you were referred to a skilled surgeon. Tina is right, most of the "free" pet are the most costly- I should know- all of my pets are hospital "castoffs". These are pets who were either abandoned or turned over to the hospital because the owners could not afford, or didn't want to do the necessary treatments. I'll say it again, this little girl was so lucky to find you and your wife!!! Will continue to think of you all- please continue to give updates! WD PS- my boss and I have the ultimate "housecall practice". We are called in on referral by general practitioners who need a specialty surgeon. We go the the client's regular vet hospital (bringing all our own equipment and supplies) so that the client and pet are always with a familiar environment and staff> We travel all day with our suitcases so that they don't have to. It's strenuous but really great!
