Well, I picked Barnum up from the Urgent Care vet, and they instructed me to take him directly to his "regular" vet. *ahem* But anyway, I took him to *a* regular vet, and she, after talking to the vet from last night immediately started talking to me about taking him to the neurologist. So basically he's going to have to have the $3500-$5000 surgery. Meanwhile, she's got him today and she'll continue the steroid treatment, so I get to pay another $300 just for today's treatment which won't solve the problem but might alleviate the pain somewhat.
Barnum was NOT a happy camper that I took him to another vet when he thought he was getting to go home. Poor guy!
At this point... I have no idea what's going on, what's going to happen tonight, anything. I suppose it'll develop as the day progresses.
