    I think I can help in the neuter department.  I have applications
    for low cost spay/neuters from Friends of Animals.  A neuter costs
    $20.  You may have to drive a bit tho because you have to use
    participating vets.  Give me a call and I'll go through the list
    of vets with you.  I have a feeling tho, that southboro or Northboro
    is going to be the closest.  But then, its only once and its worth
    the drive to save money.

    Northboro animal hospital does honor the FOA certificates.
    
    Their regular neuter costs $58....so FOA gives a big savings.  THeir shots
    are a few dollars more than other vets, but remember you get what you
    pay for.......

re: pet insurance

	There was something on Entertainement tonight (I think) earlier
	this week that told about the various businesses certain celebrities
	were into.  One celebrity (male - can't remember his name but
	one of his names may have started with an N) has a pet insurance
	business.  For some small fee (under $100 - might be $60) you
	can get up to 80% of your vet bills covered.  I think this 
	includes routine things such as neutering.

	I wish I had paid more attention at the time buy I was sewing
	and trying to keep T.K. from scooting under my fabric (he is
	just soooo helpful).

	Maybe someone else knows...

    I go to Medway Animal Hosp.  But as infrequently as possible, because
    Jasper turns into a maniac there....and, they'd rather he didn't
    visit too often either.  I have heard that the one in Bellingham
    is good also.  Don't know the name of it, but I think it's the only
    one.  Don't know about any in Milford, so this is all the help I
    can be!

            VET IN MILFORD BELLINGHAM AREA
    
       There is a new vet that is located next door to the old Strand
    ski shop right on 126. Across the street is a Lil General.
        Also I live in Bellingham and go to Diamond Hill Animal Hospital
      it is located about 5 minutes from my house.It is very reasonable
    and they are open 6 days a week plus they are on call for emergencies.
        They are on Diamond Hill Road in Woonsocket,R.I.if you are fimiliar
    with Woonsocket at all it is directly up the street from Walnut
    Hill Plaza and the Big D, Sears, and such
        if any info is needed let me know.

    There is the Bellingham Animal Hospital on Rte. 140 - the phone number
    is 966-1000.  Dr. Shea is great!  I have been using them for 6 years
    and have been very happy with them.  I try to make my appointments with
    Dr. Shea because he is knowledgeable and very good with my dogs.
    
    I know for a fact that they do not honor spay certificates and the
    nearest one I found was Dr. Frazer in Southboro.  He did my cat and
    everything went well.
    
    Good Luck!

    Hi,
    
     I used Bellingham Animal Hospital when I lived in Bellingham, and
    really liked them. I agree that Dr. Shea is the best there, but all the
    other vets there follow a very close second when it came to handling my
    kitties.
    
     I used Milford Animal Hospital for a while, and they were good, but
    VERY expensive. I changed to Bellingham when Dr. Heller was out and I
    was reffered to Marlboro Animal Hospital! I told them I refused to go
    there, because they were too expensive, and since it was an emergency
    of sorts, (kitty had an abcess on his face) I went to Bellingham, and
    stayed with them.
    
     Now I just need to find a good vet in the Hudson, MA area.
