We have two male cats and they got into a bit of a fighting match while we were gone. Apparently one of the cats got his ear bitten and the wound got infected by the time we noticed (he has dark hair and the infection began inside the ear). We took our cat to Sunshine Animal Hospital and the vet starts to say how serious the wound is, and how the cat will need to be sedated to get the wound cleaned. He gives us an estimate of $556.00. I found this RIDICULOUS... We showed the estimate to one of the other employees and the employee could not understand why the vet would need to sedate my cat in order to proceed with cleaning the wound. The doctor looked at my cat for 2 minutes, and still charged us 45 dollars for the visit...
