      How much were the surgeries? Why is veterinary care so ridiculously expensive in the US?
      A friend of mine rescued a cat with a broken leg that needed metal plates to hold it together, she didn't say it was especially expensive. The most expensive pet surgery I've heard of is another friend of mine that got a liver shunt done on her puppy- that was around €5000.

    • @Texas240
      @Texas240 2 місяці тому

      @@giftofthewild6665 we're a for profit country, including all types of medical care. I've read about dogs getting vet bills in the 10s of thousands for some types of illness or injury. It seems to have become much worse in the past 15 years (my previous dog passed away 15 years ago and just recently rescued one).
      I'd previously rescued a dog that required the same basic vaccines, deworming, and such and didn't think much of the cost. Having the same run about $900 over 2 visits on this new dog seemed nuts....especially since vet missed the infection the first time. Poor dog was dealing with some kind of sinus infection that healed with rest and proper food and a urinary infection that she had to deal with for a month until I specifically asked about it on the 2nd vaccine follow up visit. Nearly a grand for half assed care. That's health care mentality in the USA.
      I've also been seeing ads for pet health insurance. That wasn't even a thing a decade ago. Vet care was something that was pretty affordable. I'm not sure if something changed besides greed. Maybe vets having their schooling sponsored by a company and then it's those companies owning the vets and price fixing... That's sort of how our human health care got so outrageous.

    Bean is so darn cute. My husband and I had a cattle dog. He was found wandering a country road. My daughter wanted him. His firs day with us, he lifted his leg and peed on our carpet. All it took to tell him no, and put him outside, he never did it again. He'd go to the door from then on. He was so smart. He learned very fast. They are so wonderful. He was with us for 18 years. Just a tremendously smart dog. Miss him so much.

    I've watched this episode, plus this revisit to when we all met little puppy Bean. One thing I'll NEVER FORGET - throughout the entire story of Bean, so far, is that AMAZING AND WONDERFUL MOMENT - When you said (while Kelly was nursing Bean in her lap) " Hey, what do you think guys ? - do you think that Flip is watching from above and approves of Bean ?, etc" - and RIGHT THEN, BEAN SAT STRAIGHT UP AND LOOKED RIGHT ABOVE HIMSELF, in the way he did, with such intensity. THAT WAS ONE UNDENIABLY MOVING MOMENT THAT WILL STAY WITH ME FUR-EVER ❤

      I see it that a rescuer is the “critical care” person/place -for both physical care and emotional care.
      Once the rescuer gets the animal to a place physically & emotionally that it can be adopted, they are making room in their rescue for another animal that needs critical care.
      It is horribly painful for every rescuer to let one go, but they are also very happy for the animal❣️
      And I can tell you, from my own experience, that when one leaves, my heart & mind is already shifting, preparing and saying “OK, IM READY TO HELP THE NEXT ONE YOU BRING ME🙏🏻”

He was a mess. I am a retired homeless person that lives in a camper van, but him not leave him in his neglected and abusive life. Long story short his name is Loki he is 2 and I'm so grateful that somehow the universe matched us up. Of course he is not the same dog as my soul dog Buddy, but I'm very grateful that we found each other. Poodles also like to go round and round in smaller beds and dig in. I never see poodles on your show Rocky and for that I'm grateful.

      Hope the accommodation situation looks up in future, if that's something you'd prefer. Rental costs are horrific these days, esp. on limited or no income - really feel that challenge. It's bad enough being a person alone, can only imagine how much more tricky it must be for people who are also trying to house & feed pets... let alone children! 😢
