[QUOTE="eric, post: 21914, member: 7"] that may be part of the problem....was this an "after hours" call. I know we charge time and a 1/2 after 4 pm for my work..I supposed the vets would also, as they probably like their time off as much as we do! But cattle calls do seem pretty cheap, at least to me. I was gonna take my cow in for a pregnancy check, and he was gonna charge me a whoppin' 10 bucks. He would of came to me for another 20 if I had had a chute to hold her in. That seems pretty reasonable to me! I think it's kinda hard to get an estimate before hand since the vet never knows what he's getting into. But you should be able to get a guesstimate, how much is housecall gonna be, how much per hr after that, will he diagnose and then sell you the meds you need..etc. Didnt you get a copy of the bill before he left, as that would of been the time to discuss it with him?
