That kind of bill is pretty much what I pay every time I take one of my babies to the vet. In the last week I have spent over $1000 on vet bills. In October I spent over $400...my vet runs a lot of tests each time we go. I don't know if they are all really necessary but I would hate to tell him to not do a test and then they don't get better. This year alone, I have probably spent close to $10,000 on vet bills. Most of the time when I take them to the vet it is for vomiting and diarrhea. Each time they go in, he does a battery of tests. They never have anything that he tests for but that is a relief. I sometimes think the tests are not necessary but again, I would hate for him to not do the test and they have something serious. It's killing my credit card!!
