Hi Graham,
Just wanted to say that I had my 5 lb.kitten spayed a few days ago. All together (blood work, shots, spay) it cost me $158.00. Thank goodness that's done. Chelsea (furbaby) is going in next week for a teeth cleaning. The vet quoted approximately $300.00 (cleaning, anesthesia, fluids, etc). This is a totally different vet than the one that spayed my kitten. I really think I'm getting ripped off but I like and trust the vet that takes care of Chelsea.
Good luck with your furbaby.
