mushroom 13,227 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 This tit has opened up his wrist across the front of the knuckle, no blood or limping just a great open bloody wound. I only noticed it this morning and apparently it happened when my daughter took him for a walk last night, which she declined to mention ffs. Anyway; I went to a vet local to me who I have never used and didn't have time to get him to my normal vet who is an absolute star, with him it is all about the animals not money..... New vet takes a look, sucked in his breath (probably thinking about a new Audi) and starts piping on about general anesthetic, overnight stays etc ad infinitum. So I proposed a local anesthetic and staples as the better option for such a wound.... No No he was right and it's gonna be a minimum of 400€ Fuuck right off I said (in Spanish) Went to my normal vet after work, He took one look said "staples" did it with no anesthetic and it was even a push whether he wanted to give antibiotics or not. Total cost 39€ and all done and dusted within 15 mins Most vets are cnuts, if you are ever in BCN and need a vet I would put my all and say this is the good one 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

talt 878 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 So its not just a British thing for vets to try and rinse as much money as they can out of customers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
