He's lovely. I do love the splotchy cats.
I remember too! I loved my old vet. I did get discounts when I worked for him. Even after I was working somewhere else, he had very reasonable prices.
This gal started out pretty affordable, broke away from the large animal vet here where she worked for 13 years and set up her own clinic while my vet was still here.
Unfortunately business must be pretty good because she hasn't feared any implications in jacking prices up now that my old vet is gone.
We expected the bill would be steep at the 24 hour clinic but they employ multiple vets. There is always at least one vet there and several techs 24/7. They also have a lot of diagnostic equipment you wouldn't find in small-town clinics.
