CW Class: Fear (break #2)
The second thing to stop me in my tracks this week was the vet bill for Pixel's colonoscopy. A couple of weeks ago she had a sonogram that cost over $400. And it found nothing. Her colonoscopy cost over $1,200. The good thing is that it did get results. Pixel has IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease) which is manageable but not curable. On Monday she will go on steroids and a dose of antibiotics.
I know this is the real reason her previous owners dumped her at a shelter. But I love her and I'll do what I can to make sure she has a healthy, happy life. I don't think love should be thrown away so easily. Someone actually had the nerve to ask my why I didn't just have her put to sleep... Sometimes I really hate people.
Anyhow, at least now we know she doesn't have to have surgery. Surgery dealing with colons in cats is very dangerous because of the risk of infections... well, you know what's in colons, so it makes sense that it would be a high risk operation.
She'll be okay. She's pretty spoiled and living the good life now.
