We have spent too much money over the last three months because no one told us to do what I suspected needed to be done back in July and what I think we will be told after we get a medical specialist to take a (probably) final look over the medical history and many results from July until now. Back in July I said to my husband I didn't want to spend a lot of money to make her suffer, and yet that is exactly what we have done. I am angry about this so more will come on that, but for now I am just too sad. I kept getting bad advice from vets and doing more and more tests that ended up with her so sick she had to be hospitalised 3 months later, so much sicker than she was in July, and in so much more pain.
(Note for locals, we have changed vets, so these pics are taken near the good vet). We were given hope when we shouldn't have been and so far that has cost us the equivalent of the cost of a new small car. That would be fine if she was better but she's far from it. So we have basically paid to have her distressed and in pain for a few months.
At least she is home and eating. We can give her the love and comfort she deserves for giving us so much love and happiness over the years.
Sorry for the bleak words, feel free just to look at the pictures and go. My heart is breaking, for what we've done to her, what I KNEW we should have done in July but kept getting encouraged to hope that one more test would be the solution, and for what we will have to do. I'm also angry that we paid money we couldn't afford to spend to do this to her. I wish I'd just insisted at the time, instead of wanting so badly to be wrong and letting poor practice management misguide me.
