I asked about other treatments, but the vet said the spay was the only treatment in this case. I have talked to the vet again and they said they can try to keep the costs down and maybe cut out a few things that weren't absolutely needed, but it is still going to be over $600. I only have $200 right now. I just cannot believe they turned her over to me (I am pretty sure knowing) she had Pyometra.
