It has examples of high, average, and low price ranges, which might help you evaluate estimates you receive from vets in your area.

Hope all goes well for you and Gracie– we’re all still pulling for you here.

I made an appointment with a second vet today, recommended by my manager. I’m going to see what he thinks we should do.

They have veterinary subspecialists and if you haven’t contacted them it’s worth getting an estimate…
