One of my Whippets cut her fore leg at the front top joint bad place vets estimate to clean and sew up anaesthetic, pain killers, antibiotics overnight kennel etc £240.   Cheep or what.

I'd say that was pretty good

[sabrina]

That is a bargin

Just priced this up where I work and it would have cost approx 275.00

Price crept up a wee bit when I collected her it was £280 , have to go in again to get bandage changed so it will be a bit more.

Our vet has a scanner attached to the card authorisation machine which estimates the contents of our bank account and works from there.

My son was out with the dog when she cut herself and was full of remorse saying I,ll pay for the vet, when he found out how much he could hardly speak.

my poacher/gamekeeper mate carries a suture set for his whippets, at that price i can see why.

Could you explain that a bit more please?  I do hope you don't mean that your vet checks your bank account then estimates what to charge you depending on how rich or poor he reckons you are?

Antiseptic wash and superglue would work for small cuts, but if it's a biggy the vet will have to see what other internal structures are damaged.
Were it a sheep it would cost about £30

Probably not, but it's always felt that way ever since my first dog Rufus was treated by Mr Giles, one of the vets who dealt with the aftermath of the Household Cavalry bomb.  In those days we paid cash, and didn't have any!

In days gone by I would have stitched small wounds but this was in a bad place and over three inches long. I thought it would be a job for a professional. Its quite important that this bitch is put right and price is not what matters to me. Hope this doesn't sound like I am minted because I,m not.

nah, im skint and still get massive bills...lol

 I never think our vet overcharges, he puts a fair price on stuff and you get what you ask for, nice honest practice not like down south where they do eye you up to see how much you can pay 

I think a lot of people could repair a small wound, I remember my brother sewing black cotton when he cut his had very badly, it healed very well whereas my hospital sewn jobby went septic tank!!!
