Believe me, i went over the list very carefully. That's where I saw I would be charged $10 for an e-collar that I had bought from the pet store for $6. I also questioned if general anesthesia was realy neccessary or if it could be drained while under sedation. No, had to be anesthesia, but since he was a stray, was I planning on finding a home for him? Well then, since he already has to be put under, how about a discount neuter? We dickered a bit. They know me as a rescuer at that vet.
I can't quote exact prices for s/n because I haven't paid full price in ages and it can vary betwen vets and areas. I think a male is gett to be almost $100, and a female is well over that. There are more low cost s/n programs every day. In the US you can go to http://www.spayusa and click on your state to find out what in available in your area. Some are only for low income, some are only for those living in a certain area, but there are more programs that are open to rescue groups.
