Oh that is not fair in the least. Any vet with any amount of compassion would be able to help you out in this case. That's ridiculous. I understand they have a business to run, but surely they could charge you less, or at least TRY to come to a reasonable compromise. Glad to hear your dad was able to help you out. It's just sad the way that had to happen. Poor Tori was probably stressed out all over again.
But sounds like Ryan is well on his way to getting better. That I'm happy to hear of. I'm sure not a millionth as happy as Tory must be.
