please find an alternative vet...the ones in the city charge way too much...go to a clinic that treats for less and get a referral...our dog tore her ACL and it would have cost about 3k but with a different vet to do the x-ray and still another to do the surgery we saved over half of that. Just remember to worry about what you can control, much of your stress is beyond that! Good Luck Dear!
