Bit of a wierd question,
Our puppy is due to have the dreadded snip in a couple of months, his normal Vet is charging £120 for this, however he got back from the vet yesterday for his worm/flea treatment with a slip of paper suggesting we buy some ‘exras’ for the proceedure –
Pre anesthetic blood test £45 to ensure the pup can handle the anesthesia.
Intravenous fluids £55-£60 to allow the anesthetist to respond to lowered blood pressure or any problems under anesthesia.
Now call me a cynic but is this just a cash grab? they would surely give fluids if required anyway?
It does mention this is ‘especialy’ important for older animals, animals with other issues, but of course I want him to be as safe as possible, it just seems like they are playing on thier cutomers fear a bit here.
What would STW do?
Thanks
