| Coco's spay appointment reschedules! Ok so I bought more time. By like a week. So instead of getting it done tomorrow the 19th, I'm having her do it on the 25th. I feel much better about this change. I just felt like maybe I didn't have confidence in the vet even though I think her vet is great. I was just abnormally scared, not just a nomal kind of scared for her. So I felt like it was a gut feeling. So I called around and got directed to a website by one of the other vets (random vet I spoke to). They spay for $50 and are so good with animals. I talked to the vet at the clinic and she wants me to bring coco in so she can play with her and get her comfortable. She said she's even pull teeth if necessary. I asked all the right questions and they use Isofloryn (sp?) and everything. So I'm saving over $200 and I feel so much better about her appointment. Just thought I'd give you an update. Well now I can buy her more stuff.

| It's not as much about the money, though it definetely helps, for some reason I just felt better with this doctor than her own. I just felt more assured about her safety, as opposed to the typical vet attitude of get over it, she'll be fine.

| I don't know. Call it mothers intuition, but something just didn't feel right. I thought it was just because I was scared for the surgery, and I am, but it was like freaking out scared, not normal scared. I kept having bad thoughts about what his surgery room looks like, if it was clean enough, and what if something happened. I can't pin point what it was about him that made me nervous, even though I consider him a very knowledgeable and friendly guy who adores Coco.

| Sometimes you have to go with your gut instinct. I can't believe it's $50! I spend over $300 for neutering!

| I got Maggie spayed for $50 too! Around here we have this place called "Angels for Animals". You can adopt dogs and they are only $90... all of them. They are spayed/neutered and have all their shots. This is where I got my first dog. Well, they have a spay/neuter program for other dogs and the cost is minimal. I think it's great that some of our local vets volunteer for this. Best thing is: The one i went to is one of the best vets around here!

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | I am glad that you are feeling better about this vet...we did the same thing..our normal vet did not spay our girls we used a speciality 24 hr center...our vet is not small animal and I wanted someone who could really work with Magic since she was so little...we had a great experience there and it was cheaper...plus we got to bring them home that same day!! You have to be comfortable and that is what is important...CoCo is going to do great!!

| I know her vet was charging me over $250 for spaying and then $25-35 PER TOOTH. I thought his prices were outrageous. I know a lot of you have probably paid more but I wasn't prepared for that.

| Nobella, That seems too cheap...why is it so reasonable? I think I spent around $400 total with all the shots, medication, etc. when Stomper got neutered. That sounds too good to be true (not to disappoint you). I would ask why they are so much cheaper - they should have a good reason. So....does that mean we can meet up on Friday at the park??!!!!!
