Unfortunately, there are few rules regulating how much a vet can charge for any service, pill or anything vet related. When I was working at a pet shop in the late 80s, one of my reg. customers came in fuming. She had picked up a cat that was hit by a car (not her cat) and brought it to the nearest vet. That vet then told her it would be $1500-2000 to fix the leg. She was like "What? This isn't even my cat!" and the vet's reply was "Well, I just got all this new expensive equipment and somebody has to pay for it!"

I don't know exactly what happened after (she didn't elaborate) but I have a feeling she stormed out of there.

This was at a time when $2000 was more than two terms' tuition at the University of British Columbia.
