We have a great vet. She doesn't seem to charge for a 'visit'. We just pay for the service we need. If Punkin needs shots - that's all we pay. When she had ear problems we only paid for the drops and sedation they did to clean her ears. I am shocked (in a gooe way) when we pay the bill. Three visits, sedation (and a full day at the clinic for Punkin) and the container of ear drops was $56 (Canadian). Can't beat that. She is so kind and caring. Now the wait to get in to see her is the problem. You usually have to wait at least an hour sometimes 2 as she never turns anyone away and many people stop in for an emergency so she gets behind schedule.
An elderly lady I knew had a sick cat - our vet took the cat and had her for three weeks trying to diagnose the problem. In the end the cat needed surgery and medication etc. The bill was $200 in total for everything and the lady can pay as she can afford to over time since she is on a very small pension.
