Since your vet seems concerned witht the whole high price charges amybe he/she can make themself available if there's a future need. At least for a telephone consult, that way they can advise you. Maybe suggest an answering service if they don't want there phone # publicized. It's a small price to pay to remain loyal to their customers. My vet here in Florida allows personal calls, within reason. They truly love all animals that's why they provide us with great care. Also advise them maybe they can charge a small monthly fee for this access. I'm sure we could all part with a couple dollars to ensure we have 24 phone access to our vets.
