His creatnine is slightly elevated but normal BUN so she just recommended he have fluids during his neuter but the elevation was so minor and with the normal BUN she says there isn't anything actually wrong with his kidneys, that perhaps he just hadn't drank much before the test.
Since the low cost place doesn't do fluids looks like I have to go to the vet. I don't have the money for this, but I have to do what is right for him.
I was napping but don't think I'm going to get back to that any time soon.
Edit: called vet, he's going in next Weds. It's going to be $145.20, that includes the $57.75 for fluids(personally I find that outrageous, but if that's what it is then I'll have to pay it) and $15 for pain meds. I know I do feel more comfortable having my own vet do it but having it done for $5 would be easier on the wallet. I know Attitude's spay was $225 and some change but that was with fluid and blood work. The price just seems so steep. My vet is awesome so I don't mind paying it, but still. What is the going rate for a spay/neuter where you are?
