I forgot to say...the "speciality" vet said my cat would have to have at least one tooth removed, the next vet I took him to does not think he needs a tooth removed, and the last regular vet he went to never said anything about it. hmm, odd. I think that place, even though they are board certified vets and I'm sure very good at what they do, I think they suggested some things that weren't necessary. a friend of mine asked me, how much without the coffee?? lol

the thing about the vets is: I was taking all cats to one, then one day I took Leo there, and then after that visit I decided to switch vets. THAT new vet sent me to the EXPENSIVE speciality vet, after that visit I wondered why didn't the curent regular vet mention the tooth needing removing?? well then I switched vets again, and THAT new vet didn't see the need to remove a tooth. the new speciality vet that is doing the lasor surgery, also does not think Leo needs a tooth removed. and the surgery estimate is HALF the cost of what the first place quoted me. $700. -$900. is much better than $1500 to $2000 !!
