My dog had an anal gland abscess 2 weeks ago. I have now spent over $650… and I am not wealthy…
I just went to the vet for a recheck. The previous check was $100 (visit plus additional Clavamox). today I went back for another recheck and it was $146. I asked why and was told it was because they expressed the anal gland (which I’m not even sure was true… the vet did feel in there to check the healing).
I feel like this should have been disclosed to me prior to doing it to mention the charge. As we are already coming back in two weeks after more medication for yet another recheck I probably would have declined. I really can’t afford all of these charges. If it was absolutely medically necessary I would have done it but I don’t feel that it was and I feel like I should have been given an option.
Thoughts?
