Entry 209

I went to The Links Animal and Bird Clinic with my mom and dad today (and Taro, of course!). Taro hasn't been feeling too well lately, and we finally decided to get her a check-up.

The doctor was squeezing her urinal a bit, apparently to check if it was a urinary or bladder infection. Taro squeaked a little... but I guess it was worth it. The doctor gave us medicine for Taro, and... the grand total was $116.16. Ohmygosh. I thought it'd be less, but it was apparently $82 for the check-up and $15 for the medicine. Ouch.

The doctor told us we should've brought Taro in sooner (it's been 2 weeks since she began to urinate blood), but my mom told her that we were debating whether it was worth it or not. But... personally, it was also the fact that my dad suspected it might've been her food pellets causing the bleeding (totally NOT).

After the check-up, my mom asked me why I don't go for studying vet school. LOL. Like I really would; I'm highly against surgeries, or even just looking into the mouth of a dog.
