Default Re: Vet Care - how much should I budget?

Area: Long Island, NY, USA
Vet Fund: Don't have a specific vet fund but an overall emergency fund for life's extras.
Number of Hamsters: 1
Small animal Consultation/Exam : $65
Antibiotics : Bactrim (5 mls)- $11.00
Benebac (1 tube)- $12.00
Total: $88.00

I ended up not being charged anything and the visit was done Pro Bono when I mentioned that JJ was a classroom pet. All the vet asked for was a letter from my principal for verification. I was very surprised and grateful. Those are what the charges would've been otherwise. I still have $ put aside and will not rely on the pro bono for future visits.
