rip off vets?

Metacam is a anti inflammatory and pain reliever. I suppose he may have thought it would help with the discomfort, but there is no real way you can justify using just Metacam for a corn as it will only relieve pain and swelling in the short term so not a solution.

Corns are very difficult to deal with even after surgery they often come back. For anything like that use a greyhound vet and your local small animal vet for run of the mill stuff.

 

Just had 3 teeth removed from my dog and it cost £230. I am lucky he is insured.

 

Good luck Sirius

ive seen insured dogs treated when they don't need treated.............how much do the vets like insurance?

corns are a sight hound problem so find your local track and ask who their vet is then go there.

They love it, and so do I as it's saved me a fair few quid over the years :yes: One dog i ran neary £2k up with a foot injury, the result was good in the end

I spend alot of time dealing with vets on a professional level, and like any profession they are a mixed bunch, but for running dogs a good specailist running dog vet is a must. I have learnt this from first hand experience.

I have just found that my vets have employed a 'new girl' who keeps lurchers herself! So with this in mind I have been very nice to her as she seems to know her stuff... Nothing to do with the fact that she is a stunning beast herself and has a lot of permission local to me!!!!!
