Ellen Baker loves rescuing cats, but she will forever have a special place in her heart for Bella, who died recently after a night at a pet hospital.Her beloved tabby cat had died despite 24 hours of tests, lab work and antibiotics."Losing her I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest," Baker said.Billed thousands for treatmentThat was just the first blow. The second was the bill.Baker said she was confronted with a hefty bill the moment she and a very sick Bella arrived at the vet."I was told, 'You have to pay ,204 up front to cover anything and everything that might need to be done,'" she said.Baker, distraught, handed over her credit card. Refusing to pay would have felt like sentencing Bella to death.The next day, Bella was still sick and the hospital needed another ,000 to continue treatment."The bill in the end was actually ,346," Baker said.Why such high prices?Outrageous? Not according to the hospital's medical director.Jessica Brotherton explained to us they have millions of dollars worth of high-tech equipment, from CT scanners to chemo rooms for cancer, and surgeons who perform life-saving surgery unheard of 10 years ago.As for charging up front, she says the hospital was forced to do that after dozens of people brought their pets in for expensive care, left, and never paid the bill.Hospital founder Dr. Doug Hoffman told us "there are certain treatments costs associated with that certain level of care given them, and there is a price associated with that.""Much of the equipment we have is the same you would have in a human hospital," he said.According to Consumer Reports Magazine, the hospital's fees are not unusual. The magazine also says veterinary costs have almost doubled since 2004. An overnight stay for testing typically costs over ,000, a torn ligament repair can cost ,000 and cancer treatment for a dog or cat will cost ,000 at the very least.So how can owners make sure that when their pet eventually gets sick, they're not hit with a surprise ,000 bill?Dr. Wendy Vogel urges her customers to purchase pet insurance ranging from 0 to 0 a year."I wish everyone with a pet had insurance on their pet," Vogel said.Although the cost may seem steep, she says it prevents sticker-shock for major care."They pay 90 percent of it in many cases," Vogel said. "So, if your bill is ,000, you pay only 0 out of pocket, and that allows people to do the things they want to do but could not do without the insurance."The tech site 2516

Dozens of beachgoers stepped in to help several pilot whales that beached on a coastal Georgia island on Tuesday, according to local authorities and videos shared on social media.Dixie McCoy, who witnessed the rescue and posted live footage of it on Facebook, told CNN at least 20 whales came near the shore of St. Simons Island's East Beach.About five or six whales from the pod beached themselves, and bystanders worked to push the animals back to sea, Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) spokesman Tyler Jones told CNN in an emailed statement. 568

CINCINNATI, Ohio — Dawn Bales and her 15-year-old daughter are already on the ground by the time the Facebook Live recording begins, the former frantically trying to shield her child from the barrage of kicks delivered by a ring of teenage attackers.“Hit the mom!” the teenager recording the scene calls to the others.Another seconds: "Hit her some!"They do. Someone laughs. Bales and her daughter scream.The assault, which happened Monday, left physical and emotional bruises on both. Bales said the group arrived at their home that afternoon hoping to settle a score from an earlier fight at Oyler School — a fight that had already resulted in her daughter’s expulsion.She didn’t know that when she answered the front door that afternoon. The two girls waiting on her porch asked if her daughter was home, she said; Bales told them yes and went to get her.“Are they here to start trouble?” she said she asked.“I don’t know who they are,” her daughter replied.When they walked to the front gate, however, she recognized one of them. Teenagers began to climb out of a pair of cars nearby, according to Bales.And then it was too late to escape.“I tried to cover her with my body, to get to my patio to try to get back inside,” Bales said. “They rushed us to make it over there. I saw her get snatched by the back of her hair and get thrown to the ground.”Mother and daughter were kicked and punched while one of the group stood at the bottom of their porch stairs and streamed the assault. Bales was terrified, she said. She had never experienced anything like it.“As a mother, all I wanted to do is protect her,” she said. “There was absolutely nothing I could do. If I got up she would've just gotten it worse."The attackers eventually left. Bales made sure her daughter had a place to stay out of town. Although she said she did not approve of her daughter fighting in school — “It wasn’t necessary.” — she was stunned and frightened by the scale of the other teens’ response. Looking back at the recording of the incident brings tears to her eyes.“We have to live here,” she said. “I have four small children that live in this house. I don’t know what’s to come. Will they retaliate when there’s charges brought on them?”Cincinnati police confirmed they were investigating the attack but no one had been arrested or charged. Bales said she plans to press charges of her own. 2389

DENVER — A Muslim civil rights organization is calling for an investigation after they say a Muslim-American woman was told to remove her hijab in order to enter a local arena.The Colorado chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says Gazella Bensreiti was told by an employee at the Pepsi Center that she needed to remove her headscarf in order to be allowed into the arena.Bensreiti, a mother of three, was trying to enter the arena to watch her daughter perform the national anthem. An employee at Will Call allegedly told her "take that thing off" or not be allowed entrance, according to CAIR officials.When Bensreiti asked if she could remove her hijab in private and in front of a woman, but the employee allegedly refused. CAIR then says she was "subjected to public humiliation in front of staff, students and other parents, until her daughter became distraught, believing her mom would not be allowed in to see her perform." At a news conference scheduled for Wednesday morning, CAIR will also call on Pepsi Center officials to change their policy regarding religious attire of event attendees.Pepsi Center officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The civil rights organization said they have reported, "an unprecedented spike in bigotry targeting American Muslims and members of other minority groups since the election of Donald Trump as president." 1415

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who's become a fixture at White House coronavirus task force briefings, predicts there will be additional waves of COVID-19 infections throughout the fall."In fact, I would anticipate that that would actually happen because of the degree of transmissibility.," Fauci said Monday at a press briefing at the White House.Fauci went on to say that the country would be more prepared for additional outbreaks because the infrastructure to treat the virus would already be in place."It will be a totally different ballgame of what happened when we first got hit with it in the beginning of this year, there'll be several things that it'll be different.," he said. "Our ability to go out and be able to test, identify, isolate and contact trace will be orders of magnitude better than what it was just a couple of months ago.""What we're going through now is going to be more than just lesson learn," Fauci said. "It's going to be things that we have available to us that we did not have before."Fauci's comments echo those of other federal officials, who believe that the coronavirus will continue to spread even after months-long social distancing orders are lifted. 1266
