I know that Laddie Boy , My Brother and Sister In Laws Dog has has some hefty Vet Bills.
I think that a young Vet or a Vet in a clinic tend to charge more as theyy often have to pay for thier space and time at a clinic and have to have a certain amount of billables.
Thats why I am glad that Our Vet Dr Marsales is on his own and owns his own practice. I am convinced that I saved at least 75 to a 100 dollars per Found Cat at his clinic.
