  Help getting cat spayed Looking for a good place that isn't gonna cost me a fortune to get my cat spayed the vet I started going to told me that it would cost me $650 to get her spayed and that's outrageous and something I can't afford. Anyone know a good place I could go.

  

  michaelyup replied:

  A spay doesn’t cost $650. When I lived in Galveston county, we had [Animal Alliance ](https://www.animalalliancetx.org/) for low cost spays and vaccines. I used [VCA clinics ](https://vcahospitals.com/) a chain vet clinic that is very reasonable priced for any other vet visits. They have locations all around Houston and transfer my pets’ records easily between locations. Edit: a spay for a cat at Animal Alliance was $25, but you shouldn’t have to spend more than about $100 at any vet. Sorry for the updates.

  Breanna M. asked:

  I need a low cost vet for dentals that will include extractions (at least 2 teeth are loose). I am at 67the Ave and Happy valley. The cheapest I've found so far is Katz and Dogs at $250, but it doesn't include extractions. Thanks!

  

  Brittni G. replied:

  That usually doesn’t include anesthesia either. But. You can check this out and see if there is a provider in your area. The membership covers *some* dental procedures. https://vcahospitals.com/find-a-hospital

  Mo S. asked:

  My nephew found this kitten in sept of last year at a gas station. He brought him to me almost dead. I looked for mom and other baboes for weeks and never found any more. I nursed him back to health and had many ups and downs waiting for someone to place him in rescue which never happened and eventually I decided to keep him. Well he is now having some major problems going on. We've done a CT scan and mri and it has been found he has spinal fracture as well as a spinal leak that drains into the mediasacrum. He's stable not declining but no one has ever seen his condition before. He's going back I'm for a CT amd mri in 5 weeks. Does anyone know of any good neuro surgeons in you're area I can contact. I'm at a cross roads with him and need more input for him. Im getting he needs surgery and then I'm also getting no don't do it. He's by far the most expensive kitty I've ever had and I just love him amd need to help him He's not life threatening as of yet and he's not in alot of pain so please do not recommend euthenization, if and when he's ready I will at that time.

  I'm not really sure where to post this at, so if it's not allowed please me let me know and I'll delete it. I live in Parkland/Spanaway and I'm looking for a new vet for my inside critters. I've used River Road Animal Hospital for years but my one cat is getting older and the long car ride stresses him out big time! So, looking for a vet closer to home. Thank you in advance.

  Looking for a low-cost/sliding-scale based veterinarian My almost 2 year old cat has been vomiting anything he eats or drinks for the past 24 hours. S/O was just laid off and we have lost most of our savings and stupidly didn't plan for our cat getting sick. I'm looking for a low cost vet in the city, or even one that bills after the visit.. I'm really worried, he has never been sick, thanks everyone!

  

  IdStillHitIt replied:

  Try a [VCA animal hospital](http://www.vcahospitals.com/), I don't know if they will or not but they're the ones that that give you a free checkup when you get an animal from paws.

  Sounds like an infection to me, not necessarily rabies though. Since your cat goes outside it can carry a lot of other bacteria. Please do get your infected area checked by a professional ASAP.http://www.vcahospitals.com/.../wounds-cat-bite.../63

  Does anyone have a recommendation for a Vet in the Laurel/Columbia/Bowie MD area? my sweet Jody(12 years) had cancer 4 years ago and it was recommended by his vet(when we lived in CT) that his left hing leg be removed. my husband didt want that so choose the less radical removal of the cancerous toe and ligament. no chemo or radiation. the past few days we have noticed a extreme difference in his energy and he is struggling to get up. my husband checked him over and he has a lump on his back near his spine. he needs to be seen and soon.

  

  Becky S. replied:

  There is an oncologist at VCA SouthPaws Vet in Fairfax Va 703-752-9100. I went to the eye specialist with 2 different dogs and in the end it cost less than the local vet since they took care of the issues faster and had samples of Meds. I met a woman in the waiting room that had brought her lab there from Seattle WA. For cancer treatment so I am assuming they are really good. She was staying with friends here so he could complete his treatment with them
