[QUOTE="SRL, post: 377614, member: 701"] Yesterday morning I went out to the garage with a piece of fruit for our bunny and unexpectedly found her barely able to move and in very serious condition. There's not much to be done for a rabbit in that stage but in weighing the options I did call the animal clinic to find out what the charge would be for putting her down. I was shocked at the price they quoted me--$171. This bunny was not going to make it so I was just looking for a way to make it easier so it wasn't as if we needed consultation or anything. I definitely didn't want her suffering but that's a steep enough fee to make me not rush in, especially since we've been socked with some seriously big expenses in recent weeks. Thankfully she passed on around noon. I haven't had any experience with this but wondered if this fee is typical? I know vet costs vary widely and costs are high in our area. Plus being the weekend it was the emergency clinic, and not having regular patients I'm sure they have to sock everyone who walks through the door hard. She was a sweet little bunny and we're sure going to miss her. [/QUOTE]
