My vet only charges $250 for the adrenal surgery. But, there is a
BIG difference in the Mpls/St Paul metro area. He is like the
traditional 'country vet'. He even makes house calls for me, since I
have so many ferrets at my place. Plus, he comes out once in awhile
for my horses and will check in on the ferrets, too.
I have had some people tell me that they were quoted anywhere from
$500 on up to $1500 for adrenal surgery. So you have to ask around
and see what is 'normal' for your area.
And even with his reasonable charges he keeps up on the latest ferret
health issues. I learn something new from him every time I visit.
He is very open to new suggestions of things I learn on this list,
too.
I don't know what I would do if he quit his practice or moved away.
I've known him for about 12 years.
