I have long been wondering what different vets charge for ... things >Sooooo.....what do y'all usually pay for adrenal surgery? checkups? shots? This past Thursday, I took 2 of my 4 to the vet's for their shots and exams. The itemized costs for ONE ferret was: Annual exam w/vaccinations $22.00 Ferret distemper vaccination 15.00 Rabies vaccination 15.00 Clean ears 10.00 IVOMEC treatment 14.00 (She discovered ear mites during the exam) Multiply times 2 ferrets, throw in a $5.55 tube of Laxatone, add tax, and the total for both ferrets was $159.23. Since ear mites were discovered, I made an appointment for the other 2 frits on Friday, which cost approx. $50. (I gave my son the money and he took them in for the appointment, and I haven't seen the itemized bill for it). In 10 days they will all need to go back for more ear mite treatment, so that'll be another $100. This vet is an Atlanta avian/exotic specialist. Diane [Posted in FML issue 1839]
