Crass's tumor removal - Update: Sewn back up

[Spork]

So glad Crass is doing better and thank God for ex-stepdad.

Aww, poor girl. It sucks when these things happen and the costs add up. I'm glad your ex-stepdad is so supportive, I know mine wouldn't be.

Truly. He's been so great about all of this, and when I brought up trying to pay him back he just looked at me and said that he spent three times that much when Abby (one of our dogs ) was on her way out. I'm pretty sure he was implying that it's a gift, not a loan, but I still want to give him what I can. I think my mom will help out a bit because I've been trying to be responsible, I tried to turn her down when she offered to reimburse me for one of the two vet appointments I paid for, and she told me that made her want to help more.

I know that I'm so lucky to have parents that understand you can't place a monetary value on a life, even if it's "just" a rat. They can't afford this either, the only difference is they already have debt and credit cards, so what's a little more :roll: :cuddle:

Right now I'm so exhausted... I'm on a night schedule, and I was about to go to bed when I noticed how much worse things had gotten. I don't want to go to sleep until she's a little less groggy, just so I know she'll be okay. Luckily I was able to get my shift covered, so I don't have to work tonight.

Wow, what an adventure. So glad to hear she's all sewn up again. Tell her she's not allowed to mess with it this time!

Turns out the vet took out the kidneys rather than the ovaries (this was discovered when another vet did the necropsy)

My mom spoke to our vet about this... apparently, the kidneys look identical to the ovaries and they are placed very close to each other. She can see a non experienced vet making this mistake.
