You city people and your small animal vets are funny...

I have a vet on call and have brought them out to my place several times when it’s not convenient to bring the animal into the clinic.

We pay the same hourly rate it is for one of our cows or our dog... to put farm vet costs into perspective, it cost me under $800 to deal with my dog that got run over last year including a Sunday call out (took the dog to the clinic), x-ray, stitching, suturing, splinting, cone and 4 weekly bandage changes with sedation every time.

Go see a rural large animal vet and your costs will be 1/3rd to 1/2...
