Description of service
The cat was referred to the emergency veterinarian hospital for observation and treatment overnight. The cat was just diagnosed as diabetic and insulin levels were out of control. Cat was dehydrated. Services provides included: overnight stay, medication and blood draws every hour, temperature taken and general health monitored. Total time involved: 12 hours
Review of Service
The staff was very helpful and considerate as the cat was very sick. WE were given an estimate of the cost and had to pay half of it before we left. The amount wsa about 20% higher than the quote. We were encouraged to call and check on the animal any time during the night that we chose, no matter the time. We did have to wait quite a while in the morning to pick him up.
Tips
Following is a list of tips to make this an easier decision:
1. Listen very carefully to your regular veterinarian. Ask questions that will help you decide if the animal will eventually get better. Ask what the long term prognosis is.
2. Make sure you either have back up money or an animal insurance policy to cover unexpected costs.
3. Be sure you are emotionally ready for any negative information you may be given.
4. Try not to go to the emergency vet alone.
5. Decide what is best for the ANIMAL, not YOU!
