How much does your vet cost?

[Jane]

Just curious how much peoples vets charge?

At my vet a consultation for a small animal (ie mouse - rabbit) is £12.77

No idea how much anything else costs though lol (although Tic's (hamster) eye drops cost under £7

I havnt took my piggies to the vets so i dont know.
My mum took Spice once and it cost her £27 just for the vet to say Spice was the healthiest pig he's ever seen!

An appointment at regular vets is £12, but had to take Harry to emergency vets...
They quoted £44 just to be seen, but the vet must have taken pity on the kids and only charged £36.50 inc Baytril.

I guess that means the consultation fee is £27, because all extra charges would be medication..that's expensive just for a piggy :o

 

[spice and honeys mummy]

Yep!
Mine have never had any health problems (touchwood) except for the odd spout of fungal which was treated with GG shampoo. I do there nails and check them weekly.

Mine charge £11 for consultation. When Cuzzy had mites it cost me £22.00 so not too bad.

I went to get nails clipped on all three boars in the summer and wasn't charged at all! They are really good my vets. It pays for them to be nice I suppose!

Mine is around 18pound for consultation.

Will it be wildly different, due to the area we live in?
Cost of living and all that.
North/ south price divide.
Just wondered.

Hmm..no idea..I imagine if you live in a city centre it will be more expensive?

My vets charge £10.88 for a consult. And if the piggie has to back for ongoing treatment they only charge for the treatment and not another consult which is good.

Tooo much id say there a rip off >
£30 odd pound to put my gorg boar asleep :'( and yet they want to help out your animals YEAH RIGHT :

I dont know but I'd assume about 20 as every time we've gone we've needed to buy medicine and its always come to about £35

When Treacle gave birth and was bleeding it cost me about £25 she had antibiotics and an injection to hep with re hydration without this I am sure she would of died of toxemia she looked fine bright aleart and eating but I took her for my own peace of mind.
Rimmer took him to be neutered cost me £15 plus I had an RSPCA voucher for £15 towards the cost of his neuter our vet charges £30 for a neutering.
I do not think my vets over charge but the one near my mums is very over priced. When I was enquiring about neutering a long while ago the price was as little as £20 to as much as £75 across the city centre.

I voted under £5 but i dont pay a consultation fee for the piggies or Chins.The vet knows i run a rescue so he doesnt charge a consultation and he gives me any treatment at cost price.

My vets only charge a consultation fee on initial visits. Follow ups they don't. In addition, when I bring in any new animal, check ups are free. They do this to encourage new owners to bring in their animals but it benefits me having several piggies!

 

[oveione]

hi cost me £14.20 to have all four of mine checked over good price i think.

 

[JOSIEGEE]

£15 Initial consultation. My vets has a reputation for being expensive but they are open 24/7 and have a rodent specialist. Plus I've rung for advice and not been charged.

thats cheap for an emergency consultation! my vets doesnt do a emergency thing, so it has to be done through the local pdsa vet (who are useless with anything smaller than a rabbit!)

anyway i took bob for an emergency vet visit and had to pay over £70 upfront! i would have been happy paying £44 for an emergency vet trip

a regular consultation at my regular vet is £16 which i dont think is too bad considering other vet prices in the area

Ours is £9.96 for the vet fee then whatever medications costs. They've stopped charging us on return visits for some reason.. Maybe it's because my mum phoned up to complain when they were charging us everytime we took Buttons back for a check up.That came to just under £80 not including medication and operations. With Misty they only charged us the £9.96 once then when we took Brandy and Sooty to get their teeth checked they only charged us £9.96. We thought they would have charged us double that for seeing both of them.

 

[spudnik]

mine charges £8 for a consultation for any small animal, we had the hamster there not long ago and they charged him £8 too!

then plus any meds on top.. when gucci had her op though the following check ups after her op to have stitches out etc were free i think, i paid £109 in total which included the op plus a check up.. so maybe it wasnt free haha i dunno!

mine dont seem the most expensive, but they could be cheaper!
