Strolling the yard
My fid, a baby sun conure, hasn't come home yet (another 3 weeks) but I've been extensively researching the several exotic vets in my area until finally settling on the certified avian/exotics vet just a few miles from the aviary my faby is coming from. I asked for a quote (visited the clinic to ask about what a wellness exam entails and the cost) and this was the result:
Wellness Exam: $144 (this includes the 20% discount I receive for getting my baby from the nearby aviary whom they're highly familiar with)
CBC/Chem: $170
PBFD: $88
Chlamydia: $88
So, I'm looking at a total of $490...
However, the vet informed me that the CBC/Chem would be the most crucial to have done to have a "baseline" of my faby's "normal". So I'm more than likely going to have the exam and CBC/Chem done the first visit and the PBFD/Chlamydia tests performed within the first 2 weeks of February after my next payday.
So by postponing those two tests briefly, my bill will come to $314 on my first visit and the second visit will be $176.
Believe me, I was floored when they gave me the quotes. But to me it will all be worth it because I want my little girl to be with me a looooooong time. Health is not something I will skimp on just because the prices are sky high.
