I refused the blood test

Philippines
October 2, 2018 9:46pm CST
So I went to the veterinary this morning to have him checked. But I was surprised that I ended up with three girls checking my dog. Not the usual doctor who had checked on all of my dogs since 2013. They strongly advised a blood test, but I refused because I don't have enough funds for it. So I beg to just give him some prescription meds, which they did. I might get my paypal money within the couple of days, lets hope the result won't be as worst as it is. What's sad is that the next Sorry I'm just not confident with the new vets diagnosis, regardless of their looks

We spent almost 10K for our daughter's dobberman when she (the dog) got sick a few months ago. She had to stay at the vet's clinic for several days. Good thing our daughter sent money for her dog's treatment.

I have not spent that much, but probably half of it on all of my four puppies for their meds when they were still alive @sunrisefan Sometimes I just wish I won the lottery today at least to have him hospitalized.,

@sunrisefan I agree, it's never been easy when it comes to care for them. But in my case, I lost a lot and this is my last dog, which was make it so fear ful.

@Letranknight2015 Keeping pets like dogs are really quite expensive. Actually, I don't like pets around but my daughter's friend gave her the dobberman when it was still a puppy and my daughter loved the dog.

Hello @DianneN I noticed this morning that he's somewhat recovering because he barks a lot more than he used to and ate the prescribe diet meat.

Some vets will ask a lot of money from you. Even if your dogs are okay. My Aunt was ranting about it. They have their dog checks because he did not eat his food dog. They ask for this and that and end up having a good result, and my Aunt sure they know her dog was okay. They only prescribed him another food dog. And the dog is now eating.

My dog sees ladies in the office instead of the Veterinarian, all the time. Yet they charge the same high fees! The doctor is away from the office, all the time:(
