Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Well, I made an appt with "parrots to ferrets" for wednesday, for Aries.. this morning she had one eye opened but was still licking at them both so i decided to make an appointment.. oh well at least she will get examined, even if there nothing wrong but a little irritation..
Man 51 dollars for an examination.. pets are expensive! i called around to a few places and some did reptiles but recommended i take her to Parrots to Ferrets , since they specialize in exotics.. Plus, everyone else said their fees were like 46 so i might as well pay 51 and go to the best right?
God, one vet add said they deal with canine,feline, exotics.. so i call and ask what their exam fee is for a gecko.. the girls like "a what??"

Yeah, vet appointments are up there (Try New York Animal Clinic, it's $100 for the first visit and $100 for a fecal!). Usually it's only the first appointment that costs that much though, and successive appointments are cheaper.

My vet here at Mich. charges me $35 for the first time visit, and $15 for a fecal, which I'm glad for, but I sometimes question her methods and her knowledge.

Yea well it was kinda funny, the people that were the cheapest (42) were also the people where the lady that answered the phone didnt know what i meant when i said gecko.. so i was like"uh.. never mind"
