$2700 to a veterinarian for our cat.
Cat wasn't eating, basically became anemic. Took it into the vet who recommended we run some tests and keep it over the weekend on intravenous to replenish vital fluids.
5 days later, Vet has no real answers but presents a bill around $2700 for care, tests and drugs. Paid it, felt sick since I really couldn't afford it - but it's our only pet (emotions are involved).
Couple weeks later I discover ON MY OWN that our cat has food allergies and simply feeding him allergenic food fixes everything. And he's still a cat - a very expensive jerk of a cat.
Get pet insurance. Vets will rob you blind.
