When we brought Chanel home - I had to take her to the ER at 2am on a SUNDAY....the whole bill was $225.00 including testing and treatment...Where do you live that they could charge EIGHT hundred ? That sounds very suspicious to me ....poor little baby. |
When we 1st brought Luig home, he too was one sick boy. We had him at the vets 4 times in about a matter of a month. And the 1st one, was because of him having vomiting and runny poo. They wanted him to stay over night for testing. They brought us a paper to sign, with all the estimates on what they were going to do...$675.00. And that was to paid up front.
Thank goodness, we have a credit card for emergency only. So then they had to keep him another night, for more testing..this is when they thought it was a possible liver shunt
, and wanted another $400.00. Had to pay that up front to. After all was said and done, Weeg just had a sensitive tummy and I swithed his food too quicky.
And before he was to be released, we had to pay another $75.00 for more medication.
They said they do have payment plans, which thye have no problem setting up, but they add on interest.
So thank goodness Weeg was ok, and thank goodness we had the funds to pay off the credit card when we got the bill.
