Hi guys

I know we have discussed this before. But I have never really looked at the detail of what my vets (yes I do mean more than one

) charge.

GiGi was recently diagnosed with having a growth that was necessary to have removed. Weeeelllll.....long story short, miraculously the morning of the scheduled surgery the growth started to show signs of healing......THANK YOU GOD

. I am now reviewing the bills that we are going to have to pay over the next month or so (credit card). Don't get me wrong anything for my peanuts. We also went for a second opinion (real fast) cause I am a firm believer that the more informed you are the better. While this other vet (specialist) agreed with the type of procedure my local vet was planing he could not verify the diagnosis..not enough info without add'l tests.

But any how....the local vet did blood work that we were charged $93 for. Is this in line with what any of you in the New Jersey/New York are paying? I know the prices differ through out the country.

Thanks

Tina
