Hello everyone!
My tortoise had a nasty abscess on her throat. I went to take her in and the vet has removed it yesterday. The overall cost for everything (sedation, pain meds (3 were given to me), ward care, the removal of the abscess, everything absolutely necessary) was $355.
It was pricey but I knew it was necessary and I didn’t want to spend more money by taking her to multiple vets to get a full price analysis so I just hadn’t it done there at that cost.
My question is if this is an abnormal price and if anyone knows where this can be done cheaper in southern CA if I ever need this in the future since after this happened I learned this is a common thing for reptiles (God forbid my poor tort will ever will have to deal with that again but I figure better to find out more info now)
Also I know it is probably good for me to say the price I paid to help out others too.
Please and thank you for your help
