Hi: I am writing to spout off about vet fee's. I am a new ferret owner and
my ferrets have not been to the vets yet. I am afraid because what happened
to me in the spring. I took my Labador retriever to the vets for a check up
and shots. He also did a heart worm check and gave me flea preventive.
THIS COST ME $125. .. I almost fell over when he gave me the bill. I am a
struggling single mother who has 2 children. I am totally confused. I have
never paid this much for myself or my children to go the the Doctor. Sick
or well. Where do these vets get off charging this much for an animal. I
love my animals but that was two thirds of a weeks pay. I just can't aford
it. I did get my dog and cat free rabie shots but the vet managed to rack
up a big bill anyway. I live in CAPE MAY, NJ. The vet was ABRI ANIMAL
HOSPITAL in dias creek, NJ. Maybe its just this area that the vets think
that they are worth so much. I don't know, all I do know is that I doubt
that my little ferrets will ever get to the vets. I love them but I have to
feed 2 children. When did vets get so high and mighty.
Please let me know if all area vets are like this, because I called a few in
this area and they are all the same price. Thanks for letting me spout off.
