Lily is so lucky to have you. It's just horrendous what vets charge. I am sure nowadays a lot of them are just money orientated instead of thinking of the welfare of the animal. I just wonder how many pets are left to suffer, or are put to sleep because the owners cannot afford the over the top expensive treatment. A friend of mine was charged an extra £10 for a worm pill. She asked what the charge was for, and the receptionist said handling cost. All she did was put one pill in a pot. Also the pill wasn't handed over until the cat had been seen. So that one pill, plus consultation, VAT and handling cost came to a fortune. For a worming pill. No wonder so many of us are turning to buying pet meds online now. But of course for Lily's surgery, there is no other way than to pay expensive vet bills.
