Hello, Many of you probably know of Tuffy's problems. He has been looked at by 2 different vets and a internal medicine specialist. They still don't really know whats going on with him for sure. The specialist is talking about a ultra sound and a colonoscopy [sp?], I have no idea what the colonoscopy costs but she said a ultra sound will be about $320-$350.
I want Tuffy well again, but how do I decide how far to go with all this? They have him on meds to see if they help. They don't think he is bad enough where he is in allot of pain or is going to suddenly die or anything like that. His home town vet said to just give the new meds time to work and see if things get better for him in 2 or 3 weeks and then we can go from there.
Yvonne is already on me about all the money we have in him, but she also wants him to get well.
How do some of you that have been through something like this before decide on how far to go with this stuff? I think I am more stressed out about all this than Tuffy is. I realize everyone has a different situation as far as how much money they can spend and all that, But I need some help with all this.
We are going camping again this weekend so I am going to bring him along so he gets his meds and I can watch him close. He loves to go in the motor home so he won't be more stressed out than normal.
