I think it's time I changed my vet.

I'm a bit distrusting of my vet. I really object to the size of the bills sometimes. You see I'm a nurse, as I'm sure you can guess from my user name, I can check the price of alot of things and I hate the huge markup that I'm charged by the vet. Then there's the fact that I feel the vet does not give any creedence to my knowledge or experience.
Kitty, has a sore paw. She's not a cat, she's an American Cocker. I think, or rather I know it's an abcess, it's very very painful, it's got her pad and pastern swollen, and a little pus has been seen. The vet thinks it's a wart and she wants to surgically remove it. I asked for anti biotics first and thankfully she agreed. So we'll wait and see

Dawn,

I have the same problem. I like my vet and I trust him but I'm sure the bill goes up because Norm's insured.

I paid nearly £400 to have my last bitch spayed because she had pyometria. I must be mad

Our vet wanted to take Star in and do all sorts of tests because they detected a heart murmur.

We decided to take another route and see the cardiologist at the breed show.

The charge: £7.50
No further testing needed as the vet over reacted. If we had gone the vet route it would have cost hundreds on her insurance.

Norman has a heart mumour...... £300 ch ching

£300 for what

For checking his liver, kidneys, lungs and anything else they could think to x-ray, prod and poke

nursey------ its not "that" vet is it--the one with attitude and very expensive too

Poor Norman

In future if they ask if I am insured am saying NO!

Ah, our vet puts it on his little computer. I'm sure that's the first thing he checks - before he even looks at the dog.

I would tell them the premiums were too high because of the amount of claims, so the policy was cancelled
