so the vet wants a thousand dollars in tests to figure out why Mai is starving to death while eating two cans of food a day.

a lot.
Gemini
each one is a couple hundred bucks alone
Gemini
idk we're waiting for her to call back so we can discuss what actually is important versus "covering bases" and this is after $300 in tests yesterday
★ ωιηgвℓα∂ε ★
I was gonna say, my cat had a lot of tests done a couple years back and it was about $200 total :|
★ ωιηgвℓα∂ε ★
although that was mostly blood tests, so idk what else they could throw in to hit $1000
★ ωιηgвℓα∂ε ★
but dang
Gemini
radiology and ultrasound but this is at the local clinic. the uni hospital might be able to do those cheaper
Gemini
but idk why they need to do those and NOT do a stool sample and culture.
★ ωιηgвℓα∂ε ★
ah, yeah, that would do it
Gemini
Gemini
we can sort of afford it if we really cut back, but the thing that's mostly bothering me is that they're just sort of taking stabs in the dark at what it might be
Gemini
and we can't waste time because she's so thin it might actually cause other problems
★ ωιηgвℓα∂ε ★
aw 8( I hope they figure it out soon! and that she gets better. prayers and thoughts your way <33
Gemini
thanks. we could really use it
Gemini
she's elderly but she's in good spirits otherwise, she's not ready to let go of life yet.
