Oh my! I thought $160.00 was high. Although that was just the ACHT test.

Re: What do you pay for an ACTH stimulation test? Australian Dollars (AUD)
The first two ACTH tests I had done at the vet I paid a little over $300 US dollars - ouch! I have two different vets about 100 miles away from each other (because I was working in one place and living in another) and they were both around $300 USD
However, I just switched to UC Davis and just paid $170 and got my results within 24 hours.
Sticking with UC Davis!!
