Yeah. I won't be back. All the treatments/pricing options came from the techs, outside the presence of the vet. I asked a lot of questions. Finally the vet came in and told me her recommendation which was basically pain medications and manipulating the leg. Whereas the tech was trying to sell me on x-rays of his whole body for $500. Ultimately they ended up giving me something $5 below what I said my budget was, which is some gabapentin and some injectables. Overkill, no doubt, since the first recommendation was just one injectable of methadone $74- plus the exam, xrays and some other fee, of course.

We don’t try to sell anyone on anything. Treatment plans are made by doctors and then communicated to techs, who in turn present to clients. I hope this helps.
