Hi Debbie,
I am sorry to hear about Templeton. You did what you felt best and honestly,
I would have done the same thing.
As for the vets, when Fezzik died, I went to pick him up and settled my bill
then. The vet bille dme for the part sof the surgery he completed. In this
case it was insulinoma, liver lobectomy and right adrenal surgery. He didn't
bill me for the portions he didn't complete (apparently he had a hair ball in
his stomach). It was hard. I paid ~$700 and come home with out my little boy.
