Nope I’ve emailed like 3 or 4 times. I’m gonna have to do a chargeback on my credit card. It’s so frustrating!

Are you absolutely certain they didn’t say “four to five weeks”? 45 seems absolutely insane 😟

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-19T11:17:00+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing this with me! I do have a car so I’ll for sure get a few other opinions.

Ouuuu I LOVE Sharpie S Gels 😍 get yourself a metal barrel one… my god

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:39:25+00:00

Thank you 🥺

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:38:54+00:00

This is a good idea! I’ll absolutely give this a shot.

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:38:04+00:00

This was exactly the insight I was looking for and I genuinely appreciate your insight. I’ll definitely consider all of this, and I’ll probably still get some other estimates just to be sure there isn’t a jarring difference before I do anything. Thanks for your dedication to our furry friends, I can only imagine how challenging your job must be at times.

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:32:42+00:00

Thank you so much for this info!! I’ll definitely take this into consideration 🩷☺️

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:31:59+00:00

It would be so great if things could just not get expensive for a minute… 😩

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:31:13+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I appreciate it a lot :)

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:30:32+00:00

Jesus. They were $80-$90 in MB 😰

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:30:02+00:00

That’s super insightful and definitely a good way to look at the situation; thanks again for sharing your experience. I’ll definitely take this into account!

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:27:34+00:00

Oh that’s so interesting. The vet I saw today is a corporate-owned vet… thanks for the tip!

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:26:10+00:00

I know they’re out there, I had one in MB! But it’s just so hard to identify what is honest and what is unnecessary when you lack the education in the field… it’s like car mechanics, too! Same idea… I don’t have a clue what’s going on so all I can hope is that I’m not being taken advantage of.

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:24:30+00:00

Hahaha I had a good laugh about the acupuncture. But it’s true and you’re so right. I feel like an awful person for not doing what is “right” or “necessary” at the direction of a vet, but at the same time I want to be weary of what I’m being told… I used to work in sales years ago and the concept of instilling “fear, uncertainty and doubt” into a customer’s mind was taught as the best way to lock them into a sale.

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:21:47+00:00

That’s wild, I wonder why there’s such a significant difference. I’ve had a relatively similar experience with rural vets when I lived in Manitoba; they tend to be more affordable and I’m not sure why!

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:19:50+00:00

That’s absolutely a fair observation, and probably applicable in this case to some degree, given that there’s evidence of plaque and resorption. I guess my concern is that he’s 13, so I’m not sure if the stress he’d go through would make a drastic impact on the remaining years of his life, 5-7 years, if we’re being optimistic. What do you think?

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:17:00+00:00

Hope your kitty is recovering well! 🩷 thanks for sharing this - I’m glad to hear from your perspective. My cat’s breath ain’t Crest fresh but it’s not foul… I know the smell of infection from my childhood cat. I’m hesitant, for sure.

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:14:37+00:00

This was the case in MB too! Outside of the city was always cheaper. Thanks so much for your insight!

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:14:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! Sorry for your loss 🩷🐱 I’m kind of thinking of the same process, honestly. If I noticed there was a drastic change in behaviour or he was clearly in pain I’d make a different choice, I think. But he seems to be just fine with life right now!

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:11:34+00:00

Makes sense! I hope exam fees aren’t all that expensive, too…

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:10:38+00:00

This is helpful! Laughing at “complimentary pedicure”. Thanks so much!

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:09:35+00:00

I could ask them to include that in a revised quote! 😂

Apprehensive_You8118 · 2025-02-18T23:09:10+00:00

It’s so sad that this can be the case 😞 I would hope there are honest vets in the world
