Hi Kelly,
I would be happy to compile the info. that everyone
posts. I just need a little patience from anyone
waiting for it, as it might take some time to get
everything together. I think it's a fantastic idea.
I would have to think about how to do the layout, but
I would do it in Excel, which hopefully everyone has
on their computer. If not, I know there is probably
be someone out there on this list who would be willing
to scan the document into a PDF file so the remaining
people who can't download in Excel can download in
Adobe. I don't have a scanner. Everyone, send me
your prices and location (and whether that price comes
from a low-cost clinic, or a regular city, suburban,
or rural vet)!!!
:)
