Vet Bill ---- holy..!

Before my escape to Aylesbury, Diz had a weepy eye.
I did what I normally do - bathed it with a mild salt solution and kept an eye on it (no poor pun intended). But as we were being taken in by the 'rents, who have a far older cat, I felt I had better get a vet check it out, in case it was a symptom of a more serious illness.

Came away with antibiotic pills AND cream. So I had the cost of both and the consultation. In and out within 5 minutes, £80 (approx $70). Ker-ching! Of course I'm not used to medical fees because of the NHS. Perhaps £80 is normal for a quick appointment.

Anyway, I'm sure if I'd left it with just my attention, he'd have been fine.

I voted >$200. But looking again at all you got I'd probably guess <$200!
