We had an old country vet that retired a couple of years ago. Dr. Brown lived on the property and on the occasions that we needed emergency service (4 dogs) he would come into the office when needed. Fee for emergency was $20 plus meds etc. New emergency vet has a sign on the door that there is a $104 charge just to walk in and speak to a person. How do they come up with 1 oh 4? That $4 I'm sure was critical to their business model. I miss the personal service I used to get, new owners are all business and profit is the only motivation here.
