No kidding. I didn't say anywhere that I couldn't afford it. I was just looking for an alternative as stated before, before I go off and spend a ton of money. Like other people in this forum have earlier stated that it has worked for them. I do understand that vets are important but If something works than I'd like to try it out first.Originally Posted by Deborah
Everyone talking about finding another vet, I actually have and the prices are still pretty high compared to what you guys are telling me. I took my pet rat to my new vet (they're a popularexotic vet they have a tv show on animal planet called doctor Ks exotic animal ER) and just to treat my rats pneumonia it was around $200 for the single visit and some oral medication and it hasn't even helped so more money must be spent on some more vet visits. I have called up several exotic vets in my area and they all have the same prices (besides the one with the outrageous $800 bill).
Like I said before, I will not hesitate to bring them to a vet, I would not have rescued them if I couldn't handle it. I would just like to try this out since it worked for so many others.
I'm sure many of you have tried to take advil or other home remedies for your own sicknesses before scheduling for a doctors appointment to save the money that could possibly be unnecessary.
Please do not attack me for saying this as I am stating for the numerith time that I am more than willing to take them to a vet if alternatives do not work for me.
I will have you know that I have used a similar method including eucalyptus oil and it has so far worked a little with one of the snakes so I would like to try another method with the other before scheduling for a vet.
