In October, David, who lives in Houston, paid $5000 to GCVS for an MRI of his five-month-old Pomeranian puppy, Rocco. The dog, who then weighed just 3.2 pounds, would walk a few steps and fall over like a drunk sailor. Rocco’s MRI revealed hydrocephalus, or too much cerebrospinal fluid, which can be treated with drugs. It also showed two vertebrae in Rocco’s upper spine were occluded and compressing nerves, leading a neurologist to propose a bone graft to stabilize Rocco’s spine—a surgery for which GCVS wanted $20,000. David ended up taking Rocco to Sugar Land Veterinary Specialists, which is farther from his house but charged $9,000 for the surgery.
