surgery, please schedule it right away, or you might face the loss
of your dog. It
cost us $400 for that Sunday morning vet visit, but I'd have paid even more if she had just shown syptoms earlier than she did. The earlier something like this is detected and treated, either through diet or surgery, the more likely of a positive outcome.
And if surgery is recommended, and it's a little pricey for you, talk to your vet about payment arrangements.
