This was the first time my dog had gone to this vet, so I didn't have to pay the initial office visit. But even with that out of the way, the bill was $400!!! And all they did was take 1 xray, check her out and give her an antibiotic and some benedryl. I could have gotten her entire mouth full of teeth cleaned for what this cost! Now I find out that she has what is known as a "rats tail" as she has no hair on it (and I thought it was from a biopsy, but I was assured that they only take a tiny bit of hair), and almost her entire back is pretty bald. I was told by a vet and a vet tech that this is a CLASSIC sign of hypothyroidism, and not once did they say anything about it at this clinic so now I have to find another vet and pay for the entire thing all over again, and I'm on a VERY LIMITED income. Incidently, the medication did NOT work and she has been coughing for about 2 months now. But I can't take her back there, I need to eat this month! It's not all about the money, I want the absolute best care for my pet, but if you can't afford it, then MANY vets will help you out. But that being said, I didn't expect that, NOR did I expect a bill that high. I have never paid that much for an office visit and a general check, even with an xray. A rescue group way helping me pay the bill and they were so put off that they will no longer help anymore. Read Less
