Cheers to Conger

Rather than tell the story that happened at the vet yesterday, I 'll just put a copy of the letter I sent to my local newspaper (I don't know if it will be published or not). It doesn't mean that Cosette's not really sick (she might have hepatitis), but it does mean I have a kind vet. And thanks to God for the small bill.
Cheers to Conger Small Animal Hospital in Caldwell. They are the only vet in town that have taken in my animals on a moments notice when there was an emergency, and they have successfully treated several of my animals. I have always admired the way they will not run unnecessary tests, and wisely take the diagnostic process one step at a time. I have had a cat that has been very sick and has already cost me over $300. She was getting a lot better, but then relapsed. When I brought her back to Conger, I was dreading how much the trip would cost. However, when I was ready to check out, I was told that Dr. Olson was doing her best to find the cheapest price for me. After a while, she came out to talk to me and explained she felt it was better to treat my cat’s symptoms rather than change me the $100 it would have cost to process the blood work. Instead, she only charged me $5.13 for the medicated cat food my cat needed . I am still reeling from the compassion this vet had on my finances. She will still hold on to the cat’s blood in case she gets worse & the tests become necessary, but until then, I am very grateful that Dr. Olson considered my situation and was not just caring about the money.
