And that's after getting a $15 "interpretation of radiographs" charge removed. :oP!!!! Freakin' ridiculous. Mr. P said I handled it well (didn't sound like a bitch), so that's good. I told the woman that had I know I would be charged for that I would've just mailed the xrays to my old boss and had them "interpreted" for free. Stupid. I'm still not quite over it.
The deal is...
I found a lump on Thena's belly about a month or so ago and took her to the vet today to get it checked out. It's not a lipoma, so the doc did a needle biopsy. While examining her, the doctor said she felt an organ (either liver or spleen) in a place where she shouldn't. They could be correlated or they might not be. So she took some blood and then two xrays to try to determine what was going on inside.
Xrays didn't show much except some major poo (ha) and arthritis in two of her spinal vertebrae. The doctor said they'll probably fuse at some point. The difference between the healthy vertebrae and the ones with arthritis was C R A Z Y!--very obvious.
So now we're just waiting on the results from the bloodwork and the histology. Should get those sometime next week.
I hope it's something manageable--she's not allowed to start her exit yet!
