AS some of you know, I have 2 orphan kittens(now 3 weeks old) that I am hand-raising. Well, in a couple weeks it will be time to get them spayed and while I'm getting the white kitten, Yin, spayed, I would also like to get her tail surgery done.
The problem with her tail is that the other kittens(they had 2 other siblings that passed away before I got them) sucked it to death, literally. When I took her to my vet she told me that if the tail didn't heal, it would need to be amputated. Spaying and shots isn't a problem because there is a place nearby that can do it for about $30 each. It's the surgery I'm worried about.
Although the actual amputation should not be very complicated, the anesthetics, the bloodwork, and all the other stuff needed to do the surgery are going to be pricey.
Long story short(lol), does anyone know of a vet/clinic nearby me that could do the surgery for a smaller fee?
I don't want to have to sign up for financial aid and all that stuff.
Surely there is a vet or clinic out there that will help me out seeing as how I am taking care of kittens that aren't even mine(yeah, I'm patronizing myself, rofl!) and that I'm even going out of my way to make sure they are "shotted" and spayed before they go to their new homes.
Oh yeah, my zip is 60101.
