here is a quote from tuxlvr:
until I saw this I was not going to post a complaint, but this fueled the fire.I'm a little ticked at the emergency clinic though - they didn't do anything but give her a shot - no blood work, no culture, no nothing..didn't even take her temp according to the paperwork.......other than prescribe some meds - to the tune of $215.....my regular vet did more than that and only charged $50, which included the new meds. We used the emergency vet in tha past, and they at least ran some tests for a little less than the amount.
Monday evening one of my mice was having some sort of problem. I thought she must have hurt herself as she could not walk. I saw nothing for her but a slow painful death so I wished to put her to sleep. Well, of course, it was late. And waiting until morning did not seem like an option. (24 hours to a mouse feels like a week to us). AND the emergency (after hours) hospital is so close to me, I took her there.
$95
$80 of which was an EXAMINATION fee. Here's the kicker, she was NOT examined! I did not ask for them to try to save her, no eveluation, no exam of any kind......just 39 seconds of the vet's time to do the right thing.
