Evening out

[Rickshaw swami 4,119]

I would like to start by saying I'm not a vet. I have had several dogs over the years to swallow things they shouldn't. From socks,ropes even gravel.If you know that the dog has swallowed  something it shouldn't,take a syringe of hydrogen peroxide,(roughly3cc)shoot it down the dogs throat and walk him.He will puke it up within a minute or so.I have saved myself thousands in vet bills over the years.

We've done the best part of a grand in the vets this week. One of the five dogs went rogue and broke into a cupboard on the yard and ate rat poison. Also ate 24 eggs, the egg box and part of the sofa. Didn't know which one it was so had to treat all 5 with activated charcoal and vitamin k. Then one of them threw up charcoal liquid and destroyed the carpet. Thought we'd got away with it when following day one of the youngsters went down hill, day off work, back to vets, on drip, all kinds of meds and stayed in all day. Seems ok now though which is good, unlike my wallets. Grand to the vets, new carpet, day off work and we moved house today! It's been an ideal week lol

Could've been a lot worse to be honest. The dog came good which is the main thing.

I had a bitch scanned 3 times in one day last week,she had 2 pups at 5 am,was feeding them,seemed to stop with the contractions..by 9 o'clock Mrs is panicking..  2 different practices and a lad who does it mobile....all 3 told me only 2 pups inside her..wanted 2k for a C-section first place without even looking at the dog ,£1100 second place... 4:30pm getting the bitch ready  for op and she started contracting again...4 pups fell out on the floor...one was rotten,one came out after it and bitch attacked it..they put 35 metal staples in him..sent us on our way with some puppy formula saying bitch will reject them,you can bring them back in the morning and we give them to a charity to raise, after spending £480they was gutted ,after 5 pm was out of hrs prices,they would of cut her open without a second thought...only needed a jab and a feel about to dislodge the dead pup,I was stuck in work and could of sorted it myself,f***ing stupid c**ts,stayed up all night,got them all feeding and the bitch emptying them... unfortunately lost staples the  following day....ended up with 4 healthy pups..I don't trust any vet as far as I could punch them across the room...driven by money and nothing else

Glad things turned out OK dc

Yes your right bud ,I've seen vet put quater washing powder tablet down dogs throat to make it vomit a full box of roses chocolates up and it worked .

Lot of people panic and go straight vets and get a large Bill for something they could do at home for nothing .

Yep £163 of that was the consultation fee he's right as rain now though pain in the ass but it's done now I guess can't change it but I may change vet's though a pal of mine has given me a number for a lady who deals with a few local hunts aswell so I'd prefer to use a vet that understands hunting dogs

It was always my plan as a kid but unfortunately being a little shit scuppered that plan.
