Veterinary Financials

Often, life's choices come with a cost; however, life and death choices come with an even bigger price tag. Robin, my mare that just foaled, coliced Wedneday night (5/2) which essentially means her intestines got twisted and was rushed to CSU Vet hospital at 7am Thursday morning. My choices were $1500 and she has slim chances of living or upwards of $4500 and she will almost certainly survive. Needless to say, I picked life. Today, mare and foal are happily eating and playing together and that is priceless--our final bill was much cheaper than our original estimate and I am sure that CSU granted us a few pardons and favors because everyone at the hospital fell in love with my mare, foal, and family.
