Rascal is a 7 year old mixed breed dog who has had a number of claims for cataracts. His dog mom noticed something was awry nearly two years ago and visited the opthamology specialist who suggested a wait and see approach. Three months later, Rascal had bilateral cataract surgery on his eyes.
Here are all the costs so far.

| 1/7/2012 | Paid | Cataract | $90.35 | $81.31 |
| 11/28/2012 | Deduct | Cataract | $98.00 | $0.00 |

Rascal has made a very good recovery since his surgery. I think his mom's bank account is well on its way to recovery too.
