As a former vet tech, I find it insulting when people assume that veterinary professionals are trying to milk clients for money, especially when it comes to bloodwork and other testing. Since I can't ask a dog "where does it hurt?", I have do run tests to find out what's wrong.

Look at the bottles of medication, what are they? That might give us an idea of WHY they were prescribed.
As I said before, I didn't mean to offend, but I know my vet has taken advantage of me before when dealing with my ball pythons which is what led me to join this site. I'm not saying everyone is the same though, that would be like saying that all snakes are monsters.

As for the medications they gave me to give him, I have something that's called Proviable-KP, Proviable-DC and Metronidazole. I don't know what the one time medication was that they gave him at the clinic. The Proviable-KP is a paste like thing that I give him twice a day for 3 days. Metronidazole is a white pill that he also gets twice a day for 6 days and Proviable-DC is another pill that he gets once a day for 12 days.
