That's terrible.

I remember when my mom's dog had to have surgery the vet's office quoted her $800. Although the surgery was actually being done at a vet building that does ONLY surgeries not at my mom's usual vet (I am not sure why her vet decided to send Shelby there)

When my mom picked shelby up after the surgery the bill was $1600. the only explanation was "well it's not our fault your vet quoted you the wrong price"

Totally frustrating and irritating I'm sure.
