16th Feb. 2009A visit to the Vet became necessary today. The 'baby' in the house - Max the cat, got a bit sick and this got the Dear Wife a bit worried.
He had a change of diet over the weekend and suffered a vomitting spell and then refused to eat anymore.........
became listless and just want to sleep....
So, off we went to see his 'doctor' , James Tan at Whitley Road who said there is nothing seriously wrong - just 'stomach upset'. Gave Max an injection, some medicne to take and charged us a total of $68.50!.........for:
consultation...........$30.00
injection..................$10.00
medicine.................$24.00
GST.........................$ 4.50
medicine given were:
- bactrim (antibiotics)
- lactobacillus (to aid digestion)
- B12 (appetiser)
- metolon (to stop vomitting)
So, how come a sick cat's visit to the vet is so much more costly than a normal visit to the doctor for us humans..................?!
