Ned's lameness, what do we think?

[JFTDWS]

Brill, good for you thwn

Oof expensive. I'd be expecting to pay half that - providing there was no sedation needed and around 4 xrays.

Ditto

That's great news Nah, hopefully it will all start to come together now.

I thought it was cheap! The last one I had was £2,600! So I was chuffed with £800. Although they are both insured so it didn't matter to me

 

[DabDab]

wow, your vets certainly know how to lean on the pen

4 xrays and a nerve block (the first one worked ) with sedation for xrays was less than £300 I think here. Also Nah if vets know you're not insured they can be a bit more conservative with the work they do - eg we did an extra xray plate on the basis that we had hit insurance excess anyway.

Good news re. the field .

From memory, I paid about £700 for a hind lameness work up which included examination in hand, on the lunge and ridden, xrays of hocks and stifles from multiple angles, scans of stifles, hocks and suspensories, nerve blocks of stifles, hocks and suspensory branches (on different days) and sedation.

 

[Copperpot]

They must do to be fair the expensive one he was in there 3 days with tons of x rays, all limbs blocked and multiple sedation. The other one was there for a day and a night.

 

[Copperpot]

Oh and I think it included his Tilden and hock injections too.

Gosh my lameness work up at Rossdales, trotting up, lungeing, nerve blocks of every bit of the hind legs, x-rays of stifle, hocks and fetlocks, plus scans was less than that!
