Anyhow, I've been quoted anywhere from $200 to $400 depending on the tests and if she has to be put out to do them. Considering we already spend $200 a month on food and cat litter each month, this is way more than we expected. I thought I was falling apart before I started making calls because we lost Silver just after Christmas to this. I am now scared we will lose another one of our rescues and it really hurts. I even called the teaching school and they aren't any cheaper.

i feel you on the vet bills! i have a fifteen year old rat terrier and his age seems to weigh a little heavier on him every day almost- and i love him beyond all reason- i have spent hundreds upon hundreds of dollars just getting him through the last six months and i will continue to do so as long a God lets me keep him
