Vet's bill so far not too bad


Just got the bill for the treatment of my cat's tumour so far:

consultation: 20 euros
painkiller Metacam:13
x-ray and evaluation: 47
second opinion x-ray by specialist: 21
antibiotics:4
tax: 18

total: 126 euros ( 82 pounds).

From what I've seen on this forum, British vets are raking the dosh in!

I think my Vet is rather cheap! Oli's castration is £31 inc vat. He is probably the cheapest, but is also the best Vet in my local area.

Oops! I checked, and I made a mistake, I was looking at the price of dog castrations! A cat is 28 pounds.
