My cat’s first emergency visit! Should I have waited?

I was trimming my cat’s fur and accidentally nicked his skin under his armpit. There was no blood, but I couldn’t shake the worry. He didn’t make a sound, just acted normal, but I ended up sending him to a emergency room called Veterinary Emergency Group. It was a bit of a panic decision since I was scared of infection, but they were super professional, and I was able to stay with my cat during the entire procedure. The total bill came to $800 after a discount, which included the emergency visit fee, blood tests, anesthesia, pain meds, surgery, and post-op care. Way less than I expected, but still quite a shock! Has anyone else had a similar experience? How did you handle your pet’s emergency? #PetHospital#CatHealth #EmergencyVet
