Vets bill

[vennessa]

Just got vets bill.

Glad i was sitting down £387. 68.

His on going medication is £68 per week. Why do i take in horses?

Just needed to get it off my chest.

 

[Benjamin]

I was nearly sick when I got my last one £1050.....

We do it because we love them! I think!

 

[vennessa]

Does make mine seem not so bad

 

[laura05]

Had mine today so far £1400 (all thanks to my now ex farrier) so glad she is insured

 

[Kal]

Mine was over £800 2 years ago.

 

[vennessa]

At times like this i wish they were insured but then when i think about it i would have paid out thousands where bills are hundreds.
Just came at wrong time but don't they always.

pah Ill put you all to shame, Oscar has cost £12,000 in vet bills since Jan last year

Im getting a goldfish next

 

[Halfstep]

Just had one today for £1800.

Do you need a sharer for that goldfish, DublinBay? LOL.

 

[Quarrybank]

Spider is up to £9,000 ..... Put me down for a goldfish too

 

[jumpthemoon]

I spent nearly £2000 on mine last year....can you get part livery for a goldfish???

 

[Taboo1968]

Thats cheap Silver Florin!!!!

If I sit here adding up my vets bills for the past year and a half its frightening.... and I've just had a load of work done on another horse and gave credit card details - and am totally unaware of the costs! Ho hum!

 

[vennessa]

It was only for visit and blood tests!

 

[zoesophie]

hehe maybe we should set up a goldfish keeps online forum

Anything has to be cheaper than a horse

Dear god, Im having a baby though - thats not good for the wallet either

Jumpthemoon - can I share your goldfish

I dont think I can afford a whole one

 

[emma_lg]

Couple of months back spent £600 due to emergency mudfever ie. 2 penny size scabs!!! My girlie is very sensitive and thinks she is worth it!!!
Over 2.5 years said goodbye to £12k!!!

Syndicate the goldfish...then we may be able to afford it!!!

Good idea - we should get names together - but who would muck it out / ride etc??

 

[emma_lg]

mmm...the mucking out and feeding timetable will have to be organised and contracts made up...
Obviously the initial expense of said goldfish might be a bit of an outlay..cost of bowl, feed, wouldn't want it to get lonely so it would have to have a friend too...its all starting to add up a bit now!!!!
Maybe I'll just watch Finding Nemo again!!!

 

[zoesophie]

Hmmm yeah and if we take one out for exercise the one left may fret so would have to get 3

Halfstep - soz I thought it was jumpthemoon that wanted to share - but the more the merrier

 

[Donkeymad]

Sorry, but if you guys are going to start riding the goldfish, I'm going to have to report you to the ...erm......erm....Goldfish Protection Society
