Dex injured her tail Saturday night at a beach party. All day Sunday, it bent midway at a grotesque right angle. She was unable to wag it, in obvious agony, and unambiguous about not wanting me to touch it. So on Monday, I agreed to pay the vet "emergency" rates if she would squeeze me in. She took $200 in x-rays. The moment my credit card cleared, Dex started wagging her tail furiously, seemingly unhurt.
Is it the x-rays that are the medicinal miracle, or is it the cash? 'Cause I can PayPal her care next time.
