Thank you so much. These responses really helped me to get my arms around this. I don't actually think it was too much, in the end, as he had 17 extractions (poor little doggy), and we live in a very high cost of living area. But, I was very upset with how it was handled. I would have much preferred having a more accurate estimate to begin with; telling someone in the middle of a procedure that the amount will be twice as much as the high end of the estimate is extraordinarily upsetting and confusing. But, in the end, what needed to be done has been done. |
