I agree with Blackdug about not being ripped off by vets 100% , but Dingle saying he would rather have his dog pts than pay £227 i cant belive people like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Without the vet, your dog would have died, and so would its pups? TYou breed for profit, you have to take the risks i reckon. The vet has saved the lives of several of our family dogs over the years, often in the middle of the night.Yep bills hurt, but losing the dog hurts a hell of a lot more.I spent £2000 on an old terrier this year, and still lost her, i would spend it again, and more to have her back.Money is just bits of paper, it dont compare to a valued animal, not for me anyway.

Dead eye Dick 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I have got a springer that swallowed a fishing hook so bombed it to the vet's expecting to face a bill of about £300. Got there did an x-ray and said it's in the worst place a fish hook could be. And said that he was'nt willing to perform the operation and said we would have to go to a specialist vet an hour away I asked how much and he said about £1500 but would give them a ring an check he came back and said he got it a bit wrong and I'd be looking around £3000. Went outside to chat to missus and phoned a mate about the situation when a bloke walked passed and asked if i was ok, told him the situation and he said he'd have a look at the situation, turned out he was the owner of the vets. He came back out and said he's willing to give it a go. Anyway £600 quid later dog fixed and turned out to be the best dog I've ever owned and the best dog on the sindicate shoot I'm on. So is the first vet a robbin twat? Or did the second vet feel sorry for me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
