I hope that ends up not being the case. I guess the good thing is vet care over there isn't as expensive as it is here. I remember shortly before we had to say goodbye we did a full blood panel and other tests to see what might be going on and it ended up costing us $2000 or so. I mean, it was never a question of paying it, but it just sucked all around.
