Caught a 1600 dollar bill for diagnostics on a torn ACL . Went to an emergency practice in Tysons Corner, which is probably less than an hour from Bowie, close, but Rt 50 to the beltway, maybe 40 miles. Most likely under an hour non rush hour.

Again though the article says the closest vet was an hour away and had a 2 week wait. In the past, I have lived in Prince George’s county where Bowie is. There are a lot of vets with in an hour.

When Kaila Tyree-Castro was 13, her pet geckos got sick. The closest vet was an hour away from her Bowie, Maryland, home and didn't have an appointment available for two weeks.
