Re: Soon to be new guy
Just did some more poking around Nugget's mouth looking for the infection, SO GROSS. It's not her chin, but her upper gums, some nastiness is going on there. So, though I'm having a hard time visualizing it, the snake had a hold of her chin and also INSIDE her mouth up top. There wasn't any sign of the grab on top of her mouth so I didn't even think to look up there, it must have pushed her lip up when the snake hit her and that's why it's only on her gums. Talk about ouch.
Can't wait to get to the vet.

Re: Soon to be new guy
Turns out, she just has Gingivitis or whatever. Gross! Now she has to have a 400 dollar cleaning and another couple hundred dollar's worth of teeth removed.

Well that sucks. But infections can be tricky, so it is also kind of good?
Hope everything goes well with her procedures and glad your finger is feeling better!

Re: Soon to be new guy
That's kinda how I'm trying to see it.. an infection could have become really serious at any point, but the price of the procedures is ridonculous! I feel like it should be cheaper to help our pets. We have to figure out a way to get the procedure done, probably have to use HealthSmart, we're such poor people.

I know, vets are rediculous. I would try shopping around, xalling different vets and writing down prices for what you need and going with the best option for you.
They charge so much because they can get away with it. People love their animals so much that they will pay whatever it takes (this coming from someone whos puppy needed a 4000 surgery and got it).
Also, some vets will work out a payment plan, though not all offer this. Maybe ask around for that too

Re: Soon to be new guy
I really like this vet, though, urggh. I think we're going to stick with them, but we're going to go through HealthSmart, they pay it off right away in full, and you make monthly payments to them to pay it off. Supposedly no interest, even for a 12 month plan, which I think is what I'm interested in. I have to ask and make sure, though. I also have to work it out with the boyfriend, I'm not working right now so I need him to do this for me but he doesn't want to "waste" his money on my "stupid cat". Too bad for him, though, that STUPID CAT is more important to me than he is, sorry to say! He goes on to say how possibly 1000 bucks to take out a few teeth is ridiculous, which I know, but so is 300 to cremate a rat or 300 to stitch up a tiny little rat's face, but he's more than willing to pay that because he actually likes the rats. *sigh* We'll figure it out, I was also talking to my mom about it, so we'll see. I'll find a way.

Re: Soon to be new guy
God I hate myself. -_- Of course I spill half the bottle of antibiotics on the floor. No way I am buying another 60 dollar little bottle of it, so I guess I'll just give it to her as long as I can. UGH. Why must I ruin everything? Sheesh.
The vet said it's only going to keep her "comfortable in the meantime," because things will just get stinky and uncomfortable for her again without the procedure, but she shows no signs of discomfort right now anyways. So even without the full course of antibiotics she should be fine until I can get it done.
