Banfield Pet Hospital
Just got screwed at Banfield

My cat has a foot infection. Took her 2 weeks ago and I was given antibiotic pills to shove down her throat. Two weeks later no improvement so I take her on the follow-up visit. Different vet. Suddenly she had an ear infection (after two weeks of antibiotics?) (NOTE: he went straight for her ears, when I was bringing her in for her foot!) But he had to do tests to figure out what type of bacteria was in her ears. Then the only way he could figure out what was wrong with her foot was to take an x-ray (in order to check for any foreign body that might have been stuck in her foot). Well, TWO HOURS LATER, (I assume there was a TV movie that he wanted to see), he comes out and tells me - after performing microscopic tests, of course - that my cat's ears are dirty but very little-to-no bacteria... But he's still going to give me medication. Then he shows me an x-ray that may or may not have been my cat's paw to show me that there's no foreign body nor is there any bone problems. But he told me that she has a foot infection, to which my reply was "I knew that when I walked in". Now comes the bill. WITH the 5 or 6 medications he was anticipating I'd shove down my cat's throat, they were charging me a whopping $380.89. I told the "nurse" to take all of the meds and put them in the blender and have the "vet" take them himself. I got screwed for $275 and still have to take my cat to a v-e-t.
