How much is a checkup for my cat at the local vet?

he is bleeding in the mouth, I looked inside and (only for a second) I saw the inside all tore up and bleeding, its been like that for months, I always thought he would get better but he didnt. I would take him to the vet but me nor my parents have enough money. I live in Hatford city, In
Answers:
Call your local vet and ask THEM how much a visit is going to be. On a rough estimate (not owning a cat myself) I would venture to guess that the consultation is going to be in the $30-$50 range, tests will probably add an equal amount, and any medications that might be needed will be another $20-$50 on top of that. So I would speculate maybe around $80-$150.

However, if you DO NOT take your poor cat to the vet, you are being negligent and really should not own the poor animal if you cannot properly care for it. If YOU were sick or bleeding from your mouth, I'm POSITIVE your parents would come up with the money to get you seen. Find a way!
Give them a call %26 inquire about an office visit fee. That, obviously wouldnt cover any medications needed.
Bring him to any vet. If they won't help you they'll recommend someone that will. Do it today.
Every vet has a different price. You need to call them all and find out. It's usually somewhere around $40.00 or so.
Get in touch with a local welfare society. Most either have their own vet who will be able to help or they may help you towards fees to see your own vet but she really must see a vet soon. Is she eating properly. If this has been going on for months then I would imagine she hasn't. There could be many reasons for this. It could be dental problems where she may need extractions. She may have injured the roof of her mouth while eating chicken bones or similar. Or worst case scenario it could be an oral tumour which is very nasty. Please get her checked out asap.
Please find a way to get some care for your poor kitty, maybe the humane society would give you some advice, or even treat him, he does need medical help in a hurry, he probably has trouble swallowing and is in pain. Please do something!!!
Oh stop the drama. He's the one that's been suffering all this time, not you. What did you get an animal for if you were not prepared or able to take care of it properly?!

GET THAT CAT TO THE VET. You should NEVER have let it go for months. Are you aware that it is his RIGHT by LAW to receive medical attention and not to do so is considered neglect?

The reason it costs so much is because it took the vet YEARS and years of studying, the vet has to make a living too and his office and personnel all have to be paid (YOU don't work for free do you?), and you do not have the qualifications or experience necessary to know what to do with a living organism. Have YOU been through college, 4 years of med school, and then internship? No, of course not. You are paying for specialized information. Or as my father used to say, "If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Do you see everyone doing it?!"

Grow up. Continue working and get that cat to the vet. If your vet won't take payments, then look for resources on the internet. Here are two: www.carecredit.com and imom.org

If you use CareCredit, your cat gets the immediate care she needs, the vet gets paid, and you can make monthly payments on a NO-interest loan.

Stop whining and get that cat into the vet NOW!! What you describe sounds very painful.
it could run you about $100 so if i was you i would get low cost animal insurance from like petsmart you could get visits for like 50 bucks your cat prob has a gum diseses and you need to get im in asap !!! the disaese could get into his blood stream so get on it please for the babies sake
like 150-50 dollars
hi

he could have dental problems and need a dental.
take him in if you can or see if you qualify to go to the PDSA or RSPCA. I work at a vets in the west mids in uk and we charge 拢26 and treatment would be on top of that.
