Otis has (slightly) high calcium level, and the vet said she wanted to do a blood test for (I think) hyperparathyroid. She said that this would run approx $200 - $225.
However, I've been hearing that it's better to first test for ionized calcium, and that this blood test would be cheaper.
I've been a little suspicious of my vet, and just want to check that I'm being treated fairly. So, does anybody know a ballpark figure of how much I should expect to pay to check his ionized calcium level?
