bird 9,913 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Buck hurthis back foot Friday night, Saturday took him to different vet as my vet was closed thiso woman vet asked all questions etc how he did it ,then said hold him round the neck. And started to poke around his foot, he never made any noise? And was well behaved .she said again hold him tight and started to flush his foot with water? All the time kept looking at Buck? I had gut feeling she was wary of him, anyway some antibiotics and pain relief tab, €80 quid. Next day had look at him wasn't happy with his toes they were twice the normal size. Said ton my wife let's get Buck inside and have another look? I got both my hands on his foot, my wife at the front and bent down had a look she said I think some wood right in his foot.I I pressed his foot hard ,and the wife starated to pull this bloody thing out. 3/4 in long and 1/4 wide.he never made a noise and there were no hands holding him the vet had pushed the blood thing in deeper, she wary of the dog and not thought it out proper? I never go there again no way couple pics. Quote Link to post
Criss86 69 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I bet you ain't happy ray that ain't no little splinter is it! You've got a quality dog there most would of been a nasty fecker! Good on buck being that chilled about it all hope the swelling has gone down mate. I'd b back up the vets with it tbh just to let her know. Its a joke what they charge now days. Cost me over 100quid for me bitch to have her dew claw checked after braking in half and damaging the toe a couple months ago. Those antibiotics that costs a bomb! Atb Criss Quote Link to post

robertb123 372 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'd be asking for the money back, at least for the consultation, how could she miss that! After a while without a dog, I used my old vets, everytime I went there would be a different vet. The last straw was the dog broke her canine tooth. The vet didn't even introduce herself, said the dog was overweight without even weighing it! I had to hold the dogs mouth open while she looked at the tooth from about 6 feet away and said the dog would need an operation to remove the tooth. After thinking about it, I cancelled the operation telling them I wasn't happy with their service. They still tried to chase me for ages for the £35 consultation fee for all of 5 minutes! Now found a vet i'm happy with, they're like hens teeth! 1 Quote Link to post
