2032.0. "Cocoa's $M castration!" by FDCV16::JOHNSON () Mon Dec 05 1988 14:20

    Well Cocoa went for his castration today.... I just called and
    they said he was doing fine to pick him up at 4:30.  I asked
    the damages and they said "$125.00".  After I choked I said,
    "for a castration?"  I had told them he was intaking lots of
    water so they ran a diabetes test and something about a kidney
    and liver function test.
    
    How do you do it with 7 - 15 cats?  So much for Xmas.  Well,
    better safe than sorry.  Just the wrong time of the year.
    
    At least my baby will be home tonight.  How traumatic it was
    to take away the food and water dishes after 6:00 last night
    and then this morning both babies crying to eat.
    
    Tonight I'll give him sliced turkey.  He is so beautiful.

    >How do you do it with 7 - 15 cats?  
    
    I know the feeling; I adopted Nikolas on Dec 6 of last year and was
    going to put off neutering him for a week because I was a bit shot of
    funds. The vet offered to fix now, pay him later. I suspect that a lot
    of vets do this for their large pet household customers.
    
    By the way, he came to $130 dollars, but that included FELV test,
    shots, flea bath etc.

   	Shouldn't your vet have told/asked you first before they ran
    all those tests?  That is quite an upcharge over your typical $30/40
    castration.

    Hi, tonight feed him NOTHING!  Save the sliced turkey for
    tomorrow - otherwise, you may be using lots of napkins or
    paper towels to remove the sliced turkey from your carpet!
    He may not feel much like eating tonight - at least, not
    until after 10 or 11 pm. Do let him have some water, he
    probably will be thirsty.

2032.4Couldn't have four at that price!SWAT::COCHRANEScattering like light.Tue Dec 06 1988 09:356
    I can't believe the cost!!! I had Niniane fixed for $45.00, including
    anesthesia, a FELV shot and an overnight stay.  My vet is wonderful,
    and very inexpensive.  You also get a discount for bringing in more
    than one cat at a time!!!
