On June 19th at about 12:30 at night my four-year-old German Shepherd, Winston woke me up and was in terrible pain. He had vomited, was pacing, panting, could not stand or lay down. I immediately drove him to the Cape Cod Animal Referral and Emergency Center (C.A.R.E.) on Theophilus Smith Road in South Dennis, Massachusetts. The doors were locked, I rang for assistance and the attendant let me in. I told her Winston was in severe pain, she called the doctor. We waited ten minutes and I reminded her that he was in pain. She asked me if I wanted to sign a document that would acknowledge that it was an "emergency" and she told me the cost would be an immediate $1,000. I said no, that we were the only ones there. She then put us in a small exam room where we waited another 15 minutes. I complained again and soon the doctor came in . She said she thought Winston had "torsion" and immediately took him into the back for an x-ray. Ten to Fifteen minutes later she returned showed me the x-ray and said she was sure it was "torsion" although she really could not see his stomach. She said the cost would be almost $5000 and "that is a conservative estimate." I told her that I did not have $5000 and she said "ok we can do a credit plan." I said that that was too much for me. She said alright, I need to take another x-ray and will have to anesthetize him. When she returned, she said she thought it was "torsion" and I said I did not have the $5000. She said alright the bill right now is $600.00, why don't you leave him here for two hours for observation and the total will be $1000.00. I told her he was in too much pain. We discussed putting him to sleep. The doctor immediately started to describe the various prices for cremation including various "deluxe" options. I must of looked like I was going to kill her and the doctor said "alright we will put him in a box and you can pick him up tomorrow." I began writing out a check to pay the bill and the clerk said "we don't take checks." I pointed to Winston's chart that was on the screen and said "we have been in here at least four times, and I have always paid with a check." "All right she said, but they might call you early tomorrow morning." Hawking their wares from the moment we walked through the door....and my heart is broken. I picked-up Winston...in the box the next morning and buried him in my yard
