cody90+FollowPet Hospital Experience in San Francisco Hey fellow pet owners! 🐾 I wanted to share my experiences with two veterinary clinics in San Francisco that have been great for my cat(Kate)and dog(Bubu). San Francisco SPCA They offer affordable services with excellent doctors. Both Kate and Bubu received top-notch care here. Modern Animal They provide 24/7 emergency services, which is a lifesaver for unexpected situations. Hope this helps! #PetHealth#PetHospital#EmergencyVet50Share
samantha19+FollowMy Dog’s Health Scare: Blood, Vomit, and $1000 Bill?!My poor pup has been throwing up and having diarrhea for nearly three days with no relief. This morning, it got worse—blood in the stool and more blood in the vomit. I freaked out and skipped work to rush to the vet. They couldn't pinpoint the cause but noticed my dog had a fast heart rate and dehydration. After describing the symptoms, they recommended a blood test, X-rays, and overnight observation. Of course, the bill came out to $1,000 (even after some stuff was cut out). I felt like a broke single mom—struggling to pay the vet and even sneaking a peek at my bank balance to see if I could afford it. The emotional toll was real. Does anyone have tips on handling these unexpected vet bills? 🙏 #PetHealth #VetBills#DogHealth162Share
