It might be 200 dollars.
The 500$ you are speaking of must have included various tests to see what her condition was in order to decide to put her down.
In today’s world...vet’s testing is enormously high. $200 probably wouldn’t even touch it.
It’s sad that most of the modern day vets are pricing a lot of pet owners out of existence. Just a “visit” can be over $100.
I have an old country vet that operates in the old fashioned way. I don’t know what I’ll do when he retires. I feel for the elderly, cash strapped pet owners in the story.
