I find vets are steadily going up. The one I use was really reasonable..... then he built a new building and I have about fainted when I got the bill at the end of the visits. When I took Midnight for her tests and first round of shots, checked for worms it was about $140.. Next trip several week later to get her spayed it was a staggering $181.... as compared to the around $100 when I asked prior to the visit... I didn't know she was pregnant and required more meds and stuff... But she was worth every penny for the effort she put into getting to be MINE! She never gave up!
