I have a pet in an emergency hospital in Michigan. They have not provided me with a written estimate or verbal explanation of charges, but they want me to give verbal consent over the phone for a blanket sum of money. I have not signed anything with the second hospital and am not comfortable with the charges without anything in writing. What am I liable for, and can they refuse to release my pet if I don't agree to their charges?

Can I include post-judgment issues in my appeal if they were ruled on by the trial judge? Specifically, I filed an expedited motion to modify judgment regarding timesharing and support, which was denied. Can the 'motion to modify timesharing' with a hearing, exhibits, and transcript post-trial be included in the appeal? Also, do I need to file formal objections to the motions she denied post-trial to preserve them for appeal?
