My vet wanted $200 for a neuter on my bunny so I called a rabbit rescue and said I needed assistance and they did it for $65 so $40 is awesome. Sometimes I think the closer to the city you live the more expensive the vet prices.
I took my cat in with a urinary issue 2 days ago and they told me it was going to be $860. I didn't have that kind of money and I asked for my cat back because I was going to try another vet and they said they couldn't give him to me because he was so ill he needed to be put down if they didn't treat him. OF course that set me off. The vet came down to $400 but I'm still not happy they wouldn't give me my cat. I still can't get him from the vet because they keep saying he needs to stay overnight but I'm not paying anything over $400. Highway robbery. All they needed to do for him was put a catheter in him and give me subcu fluids to take home and let me monitor him. I've done this before when he's had this issue but I lived in the country back then and it cost me $75. Now I'm in the city and they charge waaay too much.
