If you are not married, you should be able to take her to small claims court. However, you will need to prove that there was a verbal agreement that she repay you. If the check was to her that will help. If you paid the vet directly, you will need to show that she brought the vet to the office. I can't tell you if you will win. I think you have some good arguments.
