Title: Thyroid Operation Costs
Post by: DarrenR on December 06, 2009, 23:29:48 PM

Hi folks,

My elderly cat was diagnosed recently as being hyperthyroid. The only suitable option for treatment is an operation. The vet has quoted £300 for the op to remove one of the thyroids(I think) and I was wondering if this sounds reasonable? I only ask because a friend had her cat go through the same op, at the same vets, a couple of years ago and was only charged £150.  :shify:

Am I being too suspicious?

Hi Darren,

That is about what my vet charges.
