The vet has given him tablets which he rejects so I showed her how to administer them which is helping him.
I know loads of people with dogs and cats and money is no object if they are poorly, I am told they do not qualify for PDSA treatment..
I did voluntary work for the PDSA many moons ago and treatment was free to all starbold. Unfortunately people who could well afford to pay for veterinary treatment began to abuse the system and so the PDSA now means tests.
I think at one time the PDSA was free for pensioners and people were taking their pets in along with relative's pension books.
There's a lot of devious swine's going about.
It was free to all poor folks when I was kid - but in those days people respected charity and giving.
My mum had dogs and a cat when she was wee and my Granda always took them into the PDSA in Glasgow.
The most expensive treatment Jack's ever had was when he was neutered.
Expensive business owning pets.
My last dog had to have a tooth out and that cost £75 pounds.
Really expensive, but very worth it.
My cats a bit of a dick, and helps himself to food. He used to be in and out of the vets because he’d swallow the packaging and cause blockages. He’s insured so we only pay the excess, but that £75 adds up when he’s a bellend that does it often and I’m a bellend that worries like fuck.
£90 access on Bear. Only time we’ve claimed for her was when she got attacked by a jack Russel. (Yes my 12stone Newfie came worst off in a fight with a dog that weighs less than a bag of sugar
