Been thinking for a while now of changing vets but I'm not sure if it's worth it or not.
Ales vet bill for his colic came through. Knew it was going to be expensive but it's £500. Considering the vet was only on site 15 mins, just wanted a general consensus on this amount.
My current vet charge £94 for the consult and then another £50 for the visit fee, this is in working hours, out of hours both double.
Couple of items on the bill I don't recognize, saline washout for example, don't remember the vet using saline. And there is a 100ml injection listed at 10 quantity.
I rang them yesterday to just ask about these things but they really couldn't explain and were not at all helpful. I asked about giving the tube of painkiller back to save £35 and they said no way not even if I dropped it off.
I just wish the vet explained what he was injecting, I've got 5 different drugs on the invoice and no idea really what he injected but there was only one injection I know that.
Anyway going to ask around and see if anyone recommends anywhere else. It's not really about the cost as I know it'll be expensive but I don't really feel like they have any time at all to just have a really quick chat with me to put my mind at ease.
