Hi. I'm seeking advice for my 17 year old kitty Scat. Ten days ago, she was diagnosed with a UTI, and I gave her antibiotics at home. I took her in yesterday to recheck her levels, and I have attached the results (Creatine 4.2, BUN 66, Phosphorus 6.7).
The vet is recommending inpatient for 2 days and receive IV fluids and antibiotics and then recheck levels. Here are the low ($1548.63)/high ($2469.51) estimates:
4/24/2018 IV Catheter Placement For Veinous Acces 1.00 $97.45 1.00 $97.45
4/24/2018 IV Fluids & Pump 2.00 $219.26 3.00 $328.89
4/24/2018 Nursing Care 2.00 $226.60 3.00 $339.90
4/24/2018 ICU Nursing 2.00 $255.00 2.00 $255.00
4/24/2018 Overnight 2.00 $396.58 2.00 $396.58
4/24/2018 In House BUN/Creat/Lytes4 1.00 $109.16 2.00 $218.32
4/24/2018 Unasyn Injection - Small 6.00 $238.74 9.00 $358.11
4/24/2018 ULTRASOUND FULL 0.00 $0.00 1.00 $461.50
4/24/2018 Medical Waste Charge - NY State 1.00 $5.84 1.00 $5.84
I live in New York City, thus the incredibly high fees associated with this. The vet also presented me with an outpatient option, which is just giving her antibiotics at home. I don't know what to do. I'd love to hear some advice from you all. Thanks.
