Neutering Day.... or IS IT?!?!

We took Rufus to the vet at the crack of dawn today to get him neutered. The vet did some preliminary bloodwork and then called us to say that Rufus seems a bit anemic and his white blood count was really high. So instead of leaving his testicles behind, he came back home with some antibiotics and heartworm preventative (well, the heartworm stuff was something we planned to get anyway.) So in ten days we take him back to have another go at it. Quite an expensive day, today was. For the exam, heartworm medicine, and antibiotics, it was over $220. Next trip will be more bloodwork as well as anesthetic and neutering. Ouch. Rufus, this is going to hurt us as much as its going to hurt you. :)
