Tinkerbell is back from the VET!!!Hmmmm WOW!!

[Tinker'sMommy]

Well I took Tinkerbell to the vet and it was I think a waste money I paid $98. 65 total, I think is too much. He only touched and checked her ears and then I asked about her skin and he said she looks really good except for her skin. She is healthy(as I thought) except for her scratching issue. She did get a shot( Vetalog) for her allergies, he said it was some steroid. My poor baby was so scared she cried like I never heard her cry before She weighed 5.1 lbs This whole time I though she weigh 3 1/5lbs, she is not fat at all though or big.

How much do you all pay for a regular check up??

I pay about the same in Philadelphia.

VA is about $25.

She didn't get any shots but she did get one dose of Revolution, I still think it's too much.

Muffin's half-year check up is around $50 & her annual exam is about $100. The annual is rabies shot, fecal exam, heartworm meds, etc. Did you get an itemized statement from your vet? Certain shots &/or meds can be unbelievably expensive. Our vet breaks all the costs down & that really helps us figure out what we're paying for.

I don't know how much the steroid shot would run, but the total cost seems to be high to me. If you didn't get an itemized statement from them, I'd give them a call & ask for one or have them run down the prices, item by item. If that's what they charge for just an "office visit", yipes! Let us know what you find out, I'd be interested to know.

I took maggie to her vet last Wednesday and they cut her nails, shaved her butt, expressed her anal glands, and examined her stomach. total was 20 bucks. Sounded good to me.

[JESSY_RN2B]

Regular check up = 90 bucks here.......with no shots or treatments.

[Gracie'sMom]

My vet is $48.00 for the exam and then anything else is extra. The shots for thier allergies can run about $50.00 by themselves...

I wonder too , I wasn't too impress with them, and I paid so much. My hubby was about to choke mewhen I told him how much I paid.

I don't like to think like this, but alot of people think they(businesses)try to take advantage of Military families.
For example, my neighbor needer her van towed and just because she lives on post she had to pay $40.00 dollars more
