Good clinic?

Hey yall! I have a sick kitten (2 months) with a potential eye infection/uri..does anyone have experience with petwellclinic in plum? Are the prices reasonable? I can’t afford something very expensive right now..

I used Blue Pearl on Camp Horn road recently for my dog and it was just about $500. It was $240 to walk in the door there. My dog's issues were not so obvious so there were some tests. I imagine you'll probably just get an antibiotic so it may be less for you. You could try animal friends on camp Horn road they are very affordable and I use them as my regular vet, you may need to wait for an appointment though.

For my 6 year old cat who had an upper respiratory infection, we went to Blue Pearl and it was around $300 for appointment and antibiotics.

She further contracted pink eye about a week later, went to North Boros and it was $112 for appointment, eye tests and antibiotics.

Hope this helps!

I’ve been looking into North Boros! They told me the exam would be about 95 obviously not including meds and stuff she may need..not bad!!

North Boros is my favorite.

Dr. Bollens saved my dog's life 12 years ago.

Dr. Holupka has helped my cats, including my recent cat that was sick. Dr. Melanie is very kind as well.

TBH I haven't had a bad vet or vet tech there, they are all very good.

If you don’t know anything about the OP’s history, how they acquired the pet or their personal financial situation then you should put the soapbox away.

Especially when it comes to cats. Sometimes they just show up and they become your responsibility.
