No good deed goes unpunished. The dog we adopted three-ish months ago is at UofI to have imaging done. Bill will likely run $3000

And that's just to diagnose the issue. She has neurological deficits and the fear is lesions or a tumor in her brain. So, yay, brain surgery to look forward to.

The most optimistic outlook is that she just has a disc inflamed very near the skull and the treatment for that is just drugs and rest.

And not only did I see my dream car on the way up (a Tesla) but Tesla thought today was a good day to let me know I can test drive one this month at any of their 4 Chicago area showrooms. Thanks for that reminder, but I'm a few thousand further away from owning one now than I was this morning. :-/

Oof. Hope it goes the disc route. Do you or other pet owners here have pet insurance? The potential costs of medical care for pets astounds me -- nm - prayformojo Dec 4, 12:40 1

I would speak to the adoption agency regarding the matter. - David Dec 4, 12:40 3
- My wife works for them. We can get some free care there, but they don't have the imaging tech or surgical facilities. - TWuG Dec 4, 12:44 1
