We needed to contact a Vet concerning our cat Garfield Jr. What happened: Garfield Jr. was playing with his bonded sister and was full of the 🤪 crazy wild running around behavior cats are known to have. The next thing we heard was a crash and a big bang. I ran into the living room and I saw Jr flying and catapulting off a dining side table. 🙄😬 Well, we didn't realize he hurt his 🐾 paw until later that evening. He was hiding under the bed. Poor Baby! Eventually, he hobbled out from under the bed. He was calm and quietly laying down. He wasn't crying, moaning, or hissing at us in pain. He would even limp to eat and drink. (A good sign) Even Carolina could sense something was not right with her bruthar. So sweet. In the morning, We called around to different Vets in the area. Many of the Vets were stuck on telling us to go to Urgent Care or a Vet hospital. Unfortunately, We just cannot afford this type of care! Of course, We still wanted him to be seen and have medical treatment. It's important to keep in mind that we called around to other Vet businesses. When they answered we didn't the get a type of feeling that they really cared and it was all about the $$$. One of the businesses we contacted was "VCA," They may offer the 1st exam or evaluation for "FREE!!!" But, forget about the other treatments it would cost to have different tests for an animal. One of the secretary's from "VCA" told me regarding Garfield's injury he will most likely need X-rays ... etc. I asked the receptionist how much would that cost? She told that X-rays with 3-5 different views is a package cost of $600.00. OMW, to hear that was so disheartening to my husband and I 💔. We honestly, couldn't afford that. I said to my husband we need to find a different Vet. That is when we called River Road Vet! We were surprised that they fit our hurt kitty to be seen last minute. We also could hear their caring voice even over the phone. 😔 After the exam, The Doctor told us that he sprained his shoulder. No x-ray needed. No strap need to immobilize his shoulder. The Dr. told us she will give him a Anti-inflammatory shot and the Dr. gave us 3 days of pills x2 a day for pain. He just needs to rest and relax and he will slowly heal up. He is still having a bit of difficulty walking which is to be expected. Today, We noticed he started to put his paw down. He was slowly bouncing back and lightly playing with his sissy again. Garfield Jr is such an awesome handsome cat. Our Carolina is 😁 a wonderful sistah and adorable too! Happily, Garfield has his youth on his side and because he is a little over a year old. In time, we know he will be able to romp around soooon. What about the cost of the River Road visit? ... With the evaluation for his injury...it only cost $207.00 dollars for the care they provided. WoW!!! In addition we found out Garfield needed a 3 yr. distemper shot and a 3-yr rabies shot. The cost of the 2 shots were $200.00 which was essential. Very reasonable and the whole visit was only $407.00 and that included the cost of a 3-day x2 pills a day for pain medication to give at home. We are so happy and appreciated the care given. This is the Veterinary business we will use from now on!!! Thank you so much!!! Sincerely, Cat Mom and Cat Dad
