They do good work there, but the thing that bugs most locals is that they're a teaching hospital, where they're teaching college student to become vets, so you'd think they wouldn't charge as much as they do, because they charge more than vet offices do.....but again, they have equipment most vets don't have so we have to go there as needed.

Of the 4 pet visits there over the last few years, the total has been about $6,400.....always with payment plans because we never have that kind of extra money sitting around.

Thanks again everyone!

Just wanted to share that Kia is feeling a lot better. She's officially done with the pain meds and keeps trying to play with Chipper and Calypso. Now the fun part begins.

Still on soft food and attempting 'no play & rest'. Wish me luck.

Well, I'm glad puppy is okay!!! Michigan is a GREAT vet school. An expensive one too if you are applying out of state.... but I won't get into that. Lol But I'm glad she's doing good. She had a good school to help her. They have a lot of good medical technology there.

We took our cat, Grady, to State 4 years ago for a fractured leg. It was beyond the expertise of our local Vet. Total cost was $1250. However, if we had taken him to the conglomerate in Southfield, it would have been twice that. Our Vet said State's price is lower because it is tax supported.

Whatever - we consider ourselves so lucky that we are so close to such a wonderful facility.

Aww! Glad she's better.
Now behave yourself Kia and don't get too rowdy with your siblings!
