£500 Vet Bill For Potential Bladder Stones?!

I recently called around our local vets and asked if they had any cavy savvy vets. You do get some quite diverse replies, but generally you will find one that stands out. I took my Pip to a different one to my usual, and she was very good with him. Unfortunately he was pts, but I was confident with her diagnosis and believed we were doing the right thing. I think that I would pay what is required for surgery (I have been quoted a difference of £150 for the same surgery at two different vets before), but the x-ray does sound very expensive. Its probably worth taking 1/2 hour out and calling around to all the vets that you could travel to easily. Good luck
 
Another tip for finding a vet is asking at a local rescue, particularly a good rescue. They will tell you who they use and if they recommend a vet it speaks volumes as they are knowledgeable people and often spend a lot of time at the vets. I found my one through asking Honeybunnies
