[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1814227, member: 43196"] What I'm wondering is how long has the animal been sick before you call the vet? Pardon the pun (going with dependence on God) but it sounds like you wait until the animal has 3 feet in the grave with the 4th one slipping before you call the vet for a "hail Mary" attempt to save the animal. The vet isn't a "miracle worker". If a vet, for his/her fee, can save only 1 animal out of 4 attempts, and maybe more (which is a TERRIBLE record) the vet fee will pencil out and save you money, but you have got to let the vet know in a reasonable time frame (and a reasonable time frame will also mean a lower fee). I wish you success with getting the animal to recover. [/QUOTE]
