Sounds like a vet working for the love of the pet rather than the almighty dollar...a rare commodity! Marsha

I have fished out wood, twigs, pieces of branches, rocks, and pecans out of his mouth. Well, last night he came in chewing and chewing and rubbing the side of his mouth against his pillow. When I finally got him to stop running from me and looked into his mouth, I spotted a piece of wood, looked like a round peg, about of half of inch long, logged between his teeth and his gums and I could not pull it out. I even tried using pliers (which were too big and bulky), so I had to end up calling the emergency vet. I took him in last night and it was a long drive. I guess he could sense that I was scared and he was too. When we got to the vet, I had to fill out the paper work and sign a notice that I understood a visit to the emergency was $78, plus whatever the cost for the treatment, I signed it. They saw us right away and it took the vet less than one minute to pull it out (minor bleeding) and then surprise of all surprises, when I went to pay, the young women at the counter told me "the vet said there is no charge"! I didn't know such kindness still existed. Gloria P ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start the year off right.
