superbadgirlUgh. I wouldn't do it differently - I did have the option to do subcutaneous fluids at vets and then TLC at home rather than 2 overnights, IVs and X-rays, but I have my doubts it would have been enough to get Roy better - BUT I really don't have $550 lying around. $17 of that on products tat I wouldn't have had to purchase but I didn't have much of a choice.
Good thing I didn't book air travel for the holidays yet, because I don't think I can swing it. Not with having two more giant payments due for the furnace (which, I also don't regret - my house smells better already) and now this. :( It's been a couple of years now. Not only is there a new baby, but with my parents getting up there in age, every year I don't get back to see them is another year I lose, in a sense. I may or may not be able to swing holiday cards this year, either. I really enjoy doing that, though!
I need a Christmas miracle!
Or, y'know, another job. I was hesitating on that because most of the retail places will expect/demand holiday work and that's not something I can do if I'm working to go home for the holidays. I wish I could make money on my photos.
As for Roy, he did not have fleas, thank you very much. He was indeed constipated beyond recovery and that made his liver go wonky, his kidneys go wonky and his heart go wonky. He's usually a great drinker, but now I'm going to switch him to 50/50 wet/dry diet. He favors dry most of the time. Vet also recommends fiber. She foisted a $5 can of pumpkin (and other things) on me, despite me stating multiple times that I had pumpkin at home. Don't mind me, still sticker shocked. It really wasn't more than I was expecting, but I'd been hoping for a break. :)
Roy's home now - I picked him up at lunch, and he came to the office with me. He's such a good boy, tipping over for scritches from anyone who'd look his way. That's the Roy I know and love!
