When we took Picasso to the vet last week because he was throwing up
constantly, the vet gave us an itemized estimate of $419 to treat him in
the "hospital" overnight, hydrate him, and give him several meds for his
stomach.
Because Martha and I both knew what the generic names of the meds he had
listed were, we had them hydrate him at the vet's office, give him a
Raglan shot, and we would would give him the rest of the meds at home.
We had two of the three needed. This reduced the vet bill from the $419
to $105 for the office visit, emergency visit charge, the hydration, and
the Reglan.

REALLY? I can't afford the vet, but would LOVE to be able to treat the
pets. We've had good control of fleas/ticks for years now, but this
place
where I'm living now has lots of squirrels and rabbits in the 'hood
and I'm
seeing some increased scratching
