I am a bit annoyed right now and I don't mean to sound like a whiner but for crying out loud.....
Remember back in July or August Tidus was squinting his eye? So my vet did all the eye tests and charged me $125 or so only to tell me he needs to see an optimologist for his eye ulcer.
So the very same day I am able to get into the optimologist who performs the same exact tests as my vet just did, and also puts staples around one of the eyes to hold the fold back- and charges me $250 out the door, and wants to see me in a week. Does staples to 'prevent needing eye surgery'.
Week later, Tidus gets another ulcer in the other eye, more staples- same tests again- another $200+. recheck in two weeks
2 weeks later, same tests-- do nothing but say to keep giving the ointment and the meds. $100+ recheck in two weeks
2 weeks later, same tests, do nothing but say to keep giving the ointment and the meds. $100+ recheck in 6 weeks
Take him in today. Same tests, do nothing, keep giving ointments and meds, but now they want to do the surgery when he is a year old. Recheck in two months $116
Okay, now I may be dumb, maybe--- because I am adding up the totals here and from what I am guessing, I think I could have paid for sugery now on two dogs!!!!
Between this and them selling Science Diet food- over charging for meds- and everything, I am getting pissed off. Are they in it for the dogs- or the cash?
Sorry I had to rant, but I am so sick of this.... between vets and hospitals/doctors I think this whole entire field is full of greedy _________.
