We brought in a stray we had adopted from the streets and when we reviewed the costs of bringing the cat up to speed with vaccinations, etc. we willingly paid the nearly $300 for exam and vaccinations. We were told a repeat on two of the vaccinations were needed in 3-4 weeks. The cat was dropped off by my husband who was unaware of the previous quote on what she would need and signed the consent for treatment that was more than double what was anticipated. We paid our bill, but felt it unethical to charge a second FULL exam charge of $75 and a dewormer charge (which had not been mentioned that would be needed when we first brought the cat in). There was miscommunication with my husband and I - and as I said, we paid our bill - but I recommend you take your business somewhere else - not every practice will charge you the second $75 exam charge.
