is there any paperwork, like the vet's estimate, that backs this up?
I sent the vet's estimate in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Happy to explain more.
rooting for you, Carmen. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Carmen.
Sure. The biggest one is diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork), $190. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Carmen. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Kampala but we're thinking of you. Love from Kampala.
sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted
take care, Carmen. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Tel Aviv.
