Another cat of mine had to be taken to the after hours clinic, a business that opens when all the other vets close for the day. She charged me $600 for the diagnosis, my cat's intestine was hanging out after a confrontation with a dog, and the euthanizing. Not to mention a premium because hers was the only animal hospital open during the off hours. I said to her, "if these are your everyday hours then how can they be off hours?" Didn't matter, I paid. Fortunately after I threatened to sue the dog's owner, it had escaped an enclosed pen, he paid my bill with no questions asked. Apparently my cat was not the only victim that night and the dog belonged to a nearby business that wanted to stay where they were and not upset nearby residents.I'd think I'd call around before spending that much money for that service. I found prices vary quite allot where I live so always check out prices with a few vets before taking your pet in for a put down.
