Surgery: Hemilaminectomy
State: SC
Hospital: Upstate Veterinary Specialists (surgeon was Rennie Waldron, DVM, ACVIM neurology)
Address: 393 Woods Lake Road, Greenville SC
Cost: $3688
Date of surgery: July 21, 2016
What was included in cost (MRI?, days stay, ER? PT? meds for home, sling, etc.): included initial evaluation, surgery, Xray, bloodwork, CT scan, IV fluids and medications while in hospital, take home medications and 4 days in hospital. Is to also include staple removal and follow up at 4 weeks.
Comments: My only complaint is no stomach protector was given while Ike was started on prednisone following surgery while in the hospital. He developed a stomach ulcer and vomited blood after only 2 days at home and required an additional 5 days in the hospital plus stomach CT, bloodwork, urine test for UTI, IV fluids and medications. All of this was an additional $2400. Wish I had known ahead of time about the importance of the stomach protector. I would have insisted on it.
