I’m living in Tokyo for a few years for my job, and I took my cat with me. She started peeing blood and I went to the emergency vet. They saw us within 30 minutes, did a physical exam, urine test, blood test, and ultrasound. I walked out with bladder and pain meds. The total cost was around $80. EIGHTY DOLLARS!!!

Before I moved I had a similar situation, went to an emergency vet and got similar tests (urine, blood, ultrasound), and the bill was over $2000.

WTF is up with that difference?
