You said the test wasn't expensive, but my neighbors just had the vet do a blood draw/test on a young horse they just received, that was rather malnourished, and when they asked for a selinium test to be done they were told it would run an additional $100 plus dollars. That was over the cost of the original test ($85.00).

Does this seem like a normal cost?

 

Just asking...I didn't remember spending that much in the past for selinium tests...

(we are in south/central Calif, near Bakersfield...)

 

Thanks,

Lori B.
