equipment failure

$345 initial exam, xray and referral
$4100 weekend at vet hospital: diagnosis, boarding, surgery, cystotomy tube
addition of cone to protect dressing around incision and new cystotomy tube
Finally healed and mood improved
cone replaced with donut
donut doesn't work
gets leg caugt in tube
tube cracked all the way inside!
found out tube used was meant to be feeding tube!
$900 quote for low profile tube: panic, dismay, despair, depression, mistrust
Riley comes home frail and fearful and doesn't seem to trust us any more
$39 Dr Nan at Wellness Path ( http://wellnesspathvet.com/ )  exam, massage, supplements, kindness, gentleness, a new outlook,and  a happy dog who seems like he wants to live and is wagging his tail again...PRICELESS!
