What are about the averages for these 3 vet services

General Checkup
Fecal Exam
RI treatment

Costs vary per doctor and per location. Your best bet is to call and get some estimates from local vets.

I'll just tell you from my experience.

Generally the office visit for an exotic (any reptile) is $50.

I paid $19.50 for the fecal exam.

RI - depends! There are different antibiotics, and you can choose to do a culture/lung wash to find out exactly what the problem is (runs $60-120) You will also have to pay the office visit (stated above) and buy the antibiotics (typically $15-30 per 2 weeks of doses)

Wow Shelby, where do you go, I pay 67.50 for the visit and 22.50 for the float?

[Shelby]

I don't know what part of Illinois you're in.. but I go to two vets (very similar prices) Dr Barton at Vernon Hills animal hosp. and Dr Hermann at Mundelein animal hosp.
