I took my little French Bulldog to ER for a horrible discharge emanating from her vulva, and was told she had a life threatening condition that could kill her at any moment and she needed an operation IMMEDIATELY!! The bill for the ""visit"" was $200.00 - The cost of the surgery was going to be well over $2000.00!!
That day I took her to Norton's on the advise of the breeder, and they gave her some penicillin and a tube of ointment and sent us home. Her condition cleared it up in less than 24 hrs - Cost: $70.
The ER vet had charged me $35 for looking at a swab under a microscope, and inflated the findings to scare me into paying for unnecessary surgery, putting my little one at extreme risk! Melissa Norton said to me over the phone that the ER diagnosis sounded fishy , even before I brought my girl in!! Now THAT'S GOOD HONEST VETTING!
