How is it that a specialist can charge $170 just for the consult?!? We already know what's wrong with Chubbs' eyes (one is worse than the other.)
The eyedrops our regular vet gave us has helped ALOT. I don't mind paying but up front? The specialist has no payment plan. The only other option
they have is to help you apply for a Wells Fargo credit card. Is this insane or am I?!? :*(:wtf::confused:

I'm gonna be honest, 170 for a specialist sounds like a bargain to me. I guess it's all relative based on location though.

Can you do Care Credit? Just google "care credit vet" and it's the first link that comes up. I've heard it's a wonderful option.

Not sure if we can do care credit. We'll have to look at the fine print. Thanks for the suggestion!

I agree with you. But because they are specialists...they charge more. Jewel's initial Ortho consult was $150.
