One of our cats, Lizzie, needs to go to the vet. We take them to a place called Value Vet because it's supposed to be a lot cheaper than any of the other vets around and the vet is actually really good. The only problem is they don't take appointments so you have to go and wait.
Lizzie, is very afraid of strangers so it takes two people to hold her down while she's examined. We wanted to take her on Saturday, but we needed a fecal sample and of course she didn't poop in time. Online it said they were open Sunday so we tried to take her before our hike...they were closed. The sign said they're open until 6, so we took her again today. We get there and they tell us the vet leaves at 5. We were really frustrated.
So we left her poop to be tested and it was $55! I know this is California and everything is more expensive, but back home it was $20. And I'm sure I'll have to take her back in and pay for an office visit and whatever else. This is so annoying.
Re: So frustrated with the vet!
I would do this. That vet seems like waay more trouble than their worth!
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.

20 grand in vet bills????? WOW!!! That's ridiculous!!!
No kidding! The had to have a ton of tests run and now their dog is going through chemo. They've only done two treatments so far and they're already up to $20,000. They have four more to go. Insane!
