bianca.a Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I paid $320.22 and that is on top of the best part of $8000 at the surgeons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayla1 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Poor boy, that's awful. I hope he gets some relief soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harley Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I feel so sad for you and your boy I think you should be reimbursed for today, by the specialist. He doesn't need this extra pain and complication after his big surgery, please give him a gentle pat from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianca.a Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thank you all (((hugs))) it's so good to have people here understand how awful it to see him like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yep, I'd be sending the surgeon the bill.Really sorry you're going through this ,I'm sure it's the last thing you and your boy need right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hugs from me as well bianca - recovery from such in depth ortho surgery is hard enough without having other complications to deal with which probably could have been avoided . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Oh Dear What shame you have to pay for that - when it seems the pre op procedures are the cause! I hope things heal OK .. problem with scrotums is they often heal slowly thinking of you ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*kirty* Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 That really is appalling and I agree that you should be reimbursed by the specialist for your vet visit today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianca.a Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks all. He just started whimpering again so I gave him his Ace a bit early and will give more Tramadol in an hour Persephone - I had no idea that this area takes a while to heal? Crap, crap, crap I think when he has improved I will email the surgeon and voice my concerns more formally. I am just so pissed off he has to deal with this.

OSoSwift Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Poor lad he has enough to deal iwth. I would be totally pissed off as well, it is just not good enough. The scrotum seems to be causing him more pain than the surgery site. A pain he didn't and doesn't need to have - I would expect them to pay his bill today as well.

Mudlark Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The poor lad. That is so unfair. I would be livid. Have you made contact with the surgeon yet? (Sorry if you did and I missed it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianca.a Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'm currently sitting here in tears as he wont stop crying I've sent off an email to both my vet and the surgeon with that pic. This is freakin pathetic that he is in so much pain and I can't do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crits'N'Bits Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 poor little boy - I am speechless ... I wonder if something like acupuncture would help relieve the pain as well as the pain meds ? Hope he gets some relief soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florise Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 That looks so dreadfully painfully, poor boy, and poor you. It looks to be almost infected from the pics, I guess he would be on antibiotics already. I am thinking it may help to wrap his scrotum with some sort of soothing dressing like jelonet which is gauze impregnated with parafin, as it appears to be very dry also. Certainly if you can get some lignocaine gel or emla cream over the counter that may help also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
