chook1 184 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) try £650 for 35 mins for a 2" cut just glad she was insured so yes their robbing gits even out of hours it wouldn't have cost that much. Few years ago i had to rush my bitch in to the out of hours, she came down with pyo emergency spay left her with pancreitus, she spent the weekend in the emergency vets on a drip, that came to just over 700. last year my deerhound had to go in for stitches, cut was just over an inch that cost me just over 200.

wullieh 53 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 am a registered implanter for micro chipping and was shocked the vets charge between £20 and £30 for this, I normally only buy 10 at a time and they work out at £2. a chip but the do get cheaper the more you buy, and am pretty sure the vets will get even more discount than what registered implanters get.
