Toby Update

Toby got to come home from the pet hospital this morning.

They wanted him to eat and poop before he came home, but they settled for just eating.

I think part of that decision was based on the fact that he was feeling good enough to bite a tech. It wasn't a bad bite, but they figured he would be less tense at home.

I agree.

He is still on 3 different meds and special food for a few days.

The total bill came to about $770.

Phew, it's a good thing I love him.

We paid $450 dollars to buy him 3 1/2 years ago, so the vet bill didn't quite cost twice his original price.

I can tell he is feeling much better now than he was when I took him in on Saturday, but he is still not 100% back to his normal self.

His day was a little worse today when we had a thunder storm since he is terrified of thunder.

So anyway, next time you are wondering "Is it okay to give my dog a pork bone?" ask yourself if you have an extra $800 to spend at the vet.

If the answer is no, then the answer is no.

Even if you have the money don't do it. It's not worth it.
