Which is precisely why I go to a vets in Herefordshire (who also happens to know a lot about greyhounds) who wouldnt have charged nearly that amount
Bet you go to Pets Barn
Thank God For Insurance!!!

What ever makes you think that??!!
The only reason I went there is that they were the only Vet's I could find that had a price list online, as my Mummy paid for Otto's Injections (spoilt brat that I am
) and I needed to know how much they were going to be beforehand.
Ah well, we have insurance

Cos we used to go to them and stopped because they were so bl**dy expensive
Also wasnt impressed hugely with the knowledge of their vets, they did have a good one who treated our whippet when she had a nasal tumour (so that was a good few years ago!) but then he left and at that time the others were pretty rubbish
God, that must have been 10 years ago now mind you

Just had a look at my bill, sedation was £43, 1st x ray £40, subsequent x rays £17 each. Suddenly I like my vets
They also didn't charge a referral to the eye specialist for Buffy, which I was warned to expect
Like you though I would pay more because my vets are great and they give me loads of advice over the phone, and don't discount me as a neurotic owner even if I am being one

The Vet we saw for this was fab, really nice bloke and brilliant with Otto, I think the bill would have been a heck of alot more if we hadn't seen him.
We have switched to the practice he works at and cross our fingers there are no more huge bills on the horizon!

The Vet yesterday gave me advice over the phone and sent me into a crazed panic, after he'd spoken to me I couldn't remeber where I lived when asked
However that wasn't the Vet we ended up dealing with and from now on I shall only be ringing him for adivce

The more I read, the more I like my vet!!!
He is FAB, quiet (a bonus with Pippa), doesnt add unnecesary extras, and best of all appears to be cheaper than your vet Hen!
Out last bill which included 2 x-rays was £72, and that was OOH's too!
And he always calls the day after anything major to check all is well

Henry's bin diving bill came to £1300. I may have posted this before, but I am still not fully over the shock
This was on a Sunday though

I think that is closer to what the bill would have been had I gone to see the Vet I spoke to on the phone, he wanted to go straight in do x-rays on his whole body and then operate straight away to get them out!
If I had a Vet's Boll like that I would have literally dropped down dead on the practice floor, they would have had to charge extra for Body Disposal

They broke me into it very gently, preparing the ground by saying 'it is rather large...'
Thank you God, for inventing insurance, and may we not think about renewal until January

Im going to make u all fell sick now.........on 2 counts
1, I know what it feels like to pass razor blades, when I pass my monthly log
and my rottis cruciate bill would have been a few pound of £1000 and my bill was £27.52p
perks of the job and all that

Thank goodness he is ok
My mother's friend has a spaniel that ate her son's passport the day it was needed...
I think that worked out a rather expensive snack too!

Yeah, but we all know you're a bully, you probably beat the poor manager into a quivering mass before she said you could have it so cheap
