now whilst i dont like giving vets money,,,lets look at it properly,,, you guys above complianing about £95.......

 

here you have a person thats spent 7 years at vet collage, to qualify,,,and is now doing a very delicate operation on an animal.. i bet from walking in the practice to leaving , you were there an hour.... then there anasthetic,,, then post care anibiotics..........

 

now take you averge contractor,, plasterer,,plumber, sparks, fitter,, whatever, i bet theres very few on here charging less then £30 an hour,,, in fact last time our car was at garge im shure it was £70 ish an hour labour,,,, i have had our washer mended twice in the last 5 years,, both times it cost £65 , thats for him coming out changing a small componant and gone all in 15 mins

 

now this vet aint just changing a spark plug, or a tap,, or laying a brick,, this person is doing an operation on a living breathing animal,,,,, mending it if you like...........now most things in life i would have a go at,,,, but not surgery ....

 

basicly what im saying is think about what a vet is doing for your animal,,, befor you start to think feck thats alot of money

I think the point is Tomo is that you are asking for a procedure and they are refusing, give you alot of bollocks and asking you to take an alternative route where they can make even more money. Thing is with any job if your not trained in it then you will think it difficult but most of these small operations i bet they could do in there sleep. Its one of these jobs where they can put on any price and you just have to grit your teeth and get it done.

I do agree however that they should get paid a decent amount as they have trained for the job and its highly skilled........just dont take the piss is what most people expect.....

Seems to me like vets are clicking onto the fact that ferrets are becoming popular amongst working people and a huge surge in pet homes too. They obviously know that every ferret keeper ether has- all hobs castrated, jills spayed, a vasectomised hob or has to visit the vets for a Jill jab.

 

"Ferrets are becoming popular amongst working people," What? Most if not all the lads that had ferrets when I was young worked so can't see that as the reason. More likely to be the fact that more ferrets are being kept as pets.

 

As for the second sentence, are you seriously trying to tell us that every ferret keeper has to get either, all hobs castrated, jills spayed, a vasectomised hob or has to get the jill jabbed? Think your on another planet mate.

It's not as simple as that these days mate, at least not round here. Should have seen the hassle I had trying to get my little terrier bitch back to my old vet after my wife mistakenly registered my dogs with a new vet when we moved. They wanted medical records, etc, & the receptionist said over the phone I couldn't just turn up with my dog because they didn't have the medical history. In the end I just put the dog in the car, drove over there and managed to see one of the vets I've been taking animals to for the last 15 years or so.

The point is......how can one vet charge £40 for it and another chrge nearly double for the same procedure. Its an open market but there comes a time that you have a guy making a living and you have a guy being pure greedy. Shop around and get the best deal going.

[TOMO 26,156]

agreed trever shop around ,,, but what you said about 1 charging 95 and another 40,,,,, thats the same as any contractor,,, you got to shop about

[whin 463]

some have higher standard of living hence prices differ

[Rake aboot 4,935]

Two certanties in this life.

 

1./ Vets will screw every penny from you if they get the chance.

 

2./ Whin will continue to blether utter bullshit till they day he drops.
