When I questioned the $500 over the phone, the little vet tech told me, "well, we're giving you a $100 discount and you will receive syringes, a tote bag, a little cooler for traveling with the serum, a chart to keep up with alternating the serum, etc...." I'm sorry but just give me the serum and keep all of your swag!!! Grrr. The more I think about it the more angry I get. |
My vet has no "extras" in his clinic. But the prices are very reasonable. Unfortunately, the clients of those "we have everything" vets are paying for EVERYTHING.
I just signed Zachary for medical insurance. I hate the idea of $32 a month premiums but decided that since Yorkies have the potential for a lot of health problems, it would be worth it.
Sorry you got taken. I would definately look for another vet. There are always specialists you can take your baby to if necessary. My vet does the basics and will take it as far as he can but gives you the option of taking your baby to a specialist if you like.
Hope your furbaby feels better soon.
