    Liberal use of Anglo Saxon phrases could be handy.

    Here’s some, but I dunno how that’d help:

    Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,
    þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
    hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
    Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,

    Loving this thread, given me a few guffaws so far. As more than a few have said, the attitude of a couple of people really get the 😯 response.

    I wonder if the animals were fine when the OP gave them away, but now the mental turmoil of being re-homed has caused grief and anguish, and the £100 is for 6 sessions of therapy?

    Believe me, £100 is NOTHING when you’re talking vets fees!

    As a gesture of goodwill, you could offer to refund her the money she paid for them?

    I suggest that if you are concerned offering to take the animals and hutch back, refunding any money they gave you. The other option tell them to #### off….. Tioli.

    If you lived near Blackburn I’d have taken them off your hands, I’ve got over 70 so 2 more wouldn’t hurt 🙂
    Yes I’m a cavy fanatic, not quite as bad as a pigeon fancier, or a football fan, but crazy enough lol.
    If it was a skin infection, I can see where the money went on 3 weeks of an injection every week, then the vets will have put them on anti biotics and charged a fortune, me being in the know can do most of that for about £1 !!!

    Ditto, if you’re near Sheffield we’re really keen to get a pair of pigs.

    This woman does sound mental and ungrateful.

    Having eaten guinea pig, I can confirm it is rather tasty.

    This is by far the best response…unless you want to entertain us by trolling her a bit and posting up the replies.

    i gave my old dyson away on freecycle and got a text a few weeks later saying it needed a new motor and i needed to pay half!

    the society we live in worries me more and more.

    What is the £100 for? It could be very easy to get a bill of that amount for 2 small animals, a consultation fee and 2 (annual or 18 month) inoculations could add up to that in no time.

    Y’know what. Reckon I’m going to start invoicing ‘The Cats Protection Society’ for all the vet costs of the girlfriends cat.

    Tell her to go and blow it out of her not-inconsiderable rear end. After denying all knowledge of any guinea-pigs. Her problem now, not yours.

    Funny thread.

    When I read the title I thought you were going to add..

    I’m amazed that anyone would even consider going to a Vet with something like a Guinea Pig. And to then ask for the cash 🙄

    I now understand why the vet might’ve cost a bit. Question is, how did it get up there?!
