Quote - My wife is a veterinarian so I know a lot of pet stories, some happy, some sad.

The thing I find really amazing is the bill your vet has proposed to you. Seven hundred dollars? For removing a tooth, my wife would have charged a customer no more than 200 euros, that is around 300 dollars, and maybe even less. Prices and customs are really different around the world...

$200 Euros is  $319 CAD.

The vet did say that if turns out that it's only one tooth involved, that the cost would be about $300 CAD. But given her age that there are likely more teeth involved that need pulling. Plus she needs special consideration because of her kidneys. She needed 24 hours of hydration before the surgery, and possibly another 24 hours after it too.   But he also said that he doesn't know what he is dealing with until he actually gets her under anaethetic and has a good look in her mouth and providing an accurate quote is not easy because of that.

Quote - Anyway, Acadia, three things:

1. Obviously we are a bit too apart for a "real" medical advice, but if in the future you will need an opinion, a guess, an idea, whatever, about your pets, just mail me and I'll forward your questions to my wife. It's not much, but I'll do it gladly.

Thank you so much!

Quote - 2) Best wishes and a kiss on her nose to your baby. May she live long and prosper like a Vulcan cat.

3. This is the last arrived in our home. Her name is Amélie and her tail is no less than 27 centimeters (almost 11 inches).Giorgio

Amelie is beautiful!  And such a long tail!  Chynna's tail is a stubby 9 inches, and the picture of her on the window sill chasing a bug is the constant position of her tail. She's a very regal kitty and carries her tail proudly!  hehe

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
