For the past year or so Jedi has been having problems walking and getting around --- getting old sucks, but the alternative is worse!! He's been due his rabies vaccine for a while but with him being inside most of the time I haven't been too concerned with it. Got notice that his registration is due --- needs the vaccine for that. There have also been some reports in Sac regarding rabies, so I decided to take him in to the vet...
I've been a bit wishy-washy about taking him to the vets as I'm worried about hearing that he has XYZ wrong and you'll need to spend $XXXX to make things better for him. Not a decision I want to make about a pet, as even though he is a dog he is also a member of the family.
Anyway, I took him in this morning, he's getting the vaccine and then they gave some brief info regarding what I might be able to do to ease his hind leg pain, but that they really needed to do blood work and X-Rays to get down to it all... They estimated the cost at $850!!!! Ouch! Well, I couldn't say no. So now he's there getting his XRays done. We'll see what they say and how much it's going to cost...
And the saga begins...
