I use Rossdales at Newmarket, a very big practice and referral hospital, often a little pricier than smaller practices but not by much and it works out less if you end up needing referral to a specialist as they have most in house.
Jess colic/breathing problem recently was an emergency call at 8pm on a Sunday night, vet was here for at least an hour, treatment for both issues was £330!
Their normal scheduled call out is about £80, then half price on set days for each area, 1.5x for emergencies and double on a Sunday, it’s the vets overtime rates I guess, I think the first 15 minutes is included but any consult over that is chargeable.
I’m a bit pushy re what they are injecting, I want to know before it goes in unless it’s a real emergency where 1 minute delay could make a difference between saving them and not. It’s because Jess reacts so badly to some things and I don’t want a mistake. They normally do mix as many drugs in 1 syringe as possible to minimise the number of jabs needed, if we have to do multiple separately they will stick in a catheter and inject via that so only 1 prick.
The 100ml x 10 is probably a drug that comes in a 100ml bottle and they administered 10ml of it, that’s how our bills are anyway but I’d expect them to be willing to explain that.
