It really is. Even my AAHA certified state of the art vet hospital -- which is always on the high end pricewise -- "only" charges $59 for the exam fee. And I'm in northern California where everything tends to be more expensive anyway. Cultivate a relationship with several vets. I have one who I use primarily and who I've known for more than 12 years. He'll work on credit or phone a prescription in to Walgreens for me and he knows me well enough to have a little faith in my own assessment of situations. Another, near one of my foster homes, offers free well kitten exams and does x-rays and necropsies at cost for us. The AAHA vet hospital is where I go for emergencies. No harm in having several or shopping around.
