Dante's been limping for the past couple of weeks, so I took him into the vet today. I decided to try a new vet that's closer and supposedly cheaper.
The exam went ok, and the doctor said he likely has Lyme disease. Fortunately, we caught it early on, so he'll be fine after a course of antibiotics. She took a blood sample to run a test on it just to be sure of the diagnoses.
After waiting a good 20 minutes for the bill and medications, the receptionist finally rang us up.
It was $50!
I was thrilled. Then, I did something stupid. I asked the receptionist, "Hey, what time should I call tomorrow about the results of the blood test?"
She frowned and said, "Blood test? What blood test?" She re-checked Dante's chart. "Oh! I forgot to ring it up. That'll be another $66."
All together now:
D'OHHHHHHH!!!!!!
