We had a Golden Retriever pup, who one December morning got hit by a car on the
ONE time he followed his father off the property on one of his binges. Didn't
get two blocks away. Just didn't have that street-savy wanderlust gene that his
father had. $400 in, the vet stabilized him and saved his life, but then told
us he needed a plate to tie together the three pieces his shoulder blade was in
, if we were to have a dog that walked on all fours. That would bring it to
$1200 in 1986 $$. Our 13 year old son sobbed, "We'd rather have our pupply
fixed than a bunch of Christmas presents!" The day after the surgery that
changed to "Really fair to take it out of our presents!" A true adolescent!
Max had a long life, other than limping for a couple of weeks during the
occasional flare up when the seasons changed or he jumped on it the wrong way.
Never strayed off the property again. It's a scary world out there.
The travelling veterinary orthopaedic surgeon had a great deal going. Did all
the surgeries in the treating vets office. Carried his tools in duffle bags in
the trunk of his car. Had a deal with one Vet hospital to sterilize his tools
in exchange for services. Took cash up front before the surgery. Follow-up
was by the treating Vet. No overhead besides a full sized car with a big
trunk. No employees. No accounts receivable.
