There's another part I didn't mention. The vet said that if they treat her aggressively the estimated cost would be 21,000. for a two week stay at the hospital. And she said they did that treatment on another bird and that bird wasn't doing well. Yes that is the amount they quoted me. I was In shock. I don't think I asked enough questions and the ones I asked she wouldn't really give me answers to. She did say that it was the humane thing to do. because he was having such a hard time breathing. But she did say there was no right or wrong response. I guess that's why I feel so much rage. I just don't have 21,000. to try.
