Vet appointments are expensive!
I suspected my bp has ri so I made an appointment. $65 for a check up and $90 for a culture. And I have no idea what the antibiotics will cost. So much for getting a snake rack!

Ouch The antibiotics shouldn't be too bad though, maybe another hundred.

Still cheaper than what I pay from UC Davis. Antibiotics are really cheap. Meds are always the cheapest on the bill. I estimate $15-30.

Then there is those that live here.... no vet. None in a drivable distance either. The one we had retired (forcibly) and the other vets won't even bother with you- they just bounce you to the next vet who does the same. Now I have no idea what to do if I have a problem.

That isn't way out of line. My vet the visit is less the culture more. I also agree typically the meds are not very expensive I get prepared needles and they were about a 1$ a dose. I set aside 5$ a snake a month for vet visits if needed. It is just a buffer in case.

Yeah they're the best around apparently. Brian Gundy told me to go to them so I guess I can trust them...? Thank god the anti biotics wont be too expensive. I was just a little disappointed because I really wanted to get an animal plastics rack this month but I don't think that's happening! Yeah and the lab they use for cultures deals with exotics only and stuff like that. That might be just fluff information but whatever... I'm really hoping Twinkie DOESN'T have an RI so I can get myself the rack!

The good thing about reptiles is they can be shipped to a vet. We have a vet near here that you can call, explain what his going on, send a deposit towards treatment and arrange shipping. You might want to do a search for a vet that you can trust that does the same. I'd give you this vet's name, but he is on the east coast, so it doesn't make sense for you to ship clear across country.
