I feel riped off too. Recently my dog and my daughters dog got into a squabbhle and her lab ended up with a small cut. She wanted it fixed right and wouldn;t let me use the Super Glue. It was Sunday so our vet reffered us to a syndicated animal hospital that charged us 400 dollars for one stitch. The real kicker was they told us it would have beenj much cheaper if we had health insurance on the dog. I have always believed the mafia dreamed up health insurance, so it's my opiniion that they have invaded the pet world. So when it comes to vets these days it's buyer be ware.
