EVERYTHING is more expensive in the so-called fancy Northeast! All those wealthy preppies, dontcha know.......

Thanks! Don't know what we would do without Dr. Lucy! Sounds like you may have found a good one ... I think the main thing is if they care more about the animal than the big bucks! Toto was actually almost 8 months but the vet said it's a little different for the smaller ones. She was more concerned that those permanent teeth be there because she wanted to get the baby ones out and spay at the same time so she would only get anesthesia one time. That's the danger for our little guys ... they are so small they can only have a little or they won't wake up! Toto didn't completely wake up good until the next day! She never left our arms except to drink & go teetee. She wouldn't eat anything for several days! I don't know what the anesthesia blood profile is for? Does it have anything to do with quantity? You may want to get them to explain. Keep me posted!
