Moneygrabbing Vet!
Edge:
Definately change vets, ive used various vets over the years and never experienced service like that.

I have pet insurance type thing with the PDSA. They cover all emergency stuff up front so no payment needs discussing, also they cover all meds except the preventative care stuff like wormers and flea stuff. This is rather handy cos my dog is likeley to be on meds for the rest of his life.

just an idea but it is actually against the law to mistreat an animal and i am sure that if you were to be seen causing the animal pain anyone would haul you to the cop shop for a slaped wrist and a fine up to 1000 beer tokens so surelly this is pretty much the same...
i know it is a bit different with the situation and all but i had the unfoetunate task of euthanising my puppy last bank holiday after an rta and the vet advised me of the costs and i said i would return on tuesday to pay, i wasnt even registered with him...
it realy does amaze me that people are so money driven nowadays....
if it were a child in an a+e??????
i say get a petition and get him sacked he is in it for the dosh not the dogs (and other pets)

our vet will defer payment if you are unable or let you pay in installments if you cant afford a lump sum
to send the animal away and provide no pain relief even if they wont fix it must be a dereliction of care? i think the RSPCA would have a few words to say about it

I'm sure that vets are subject to a similar code of conduct as doctors. That seems very wrong to me. Without quoting the full text (due to my brain being like a very leaky thing) it is an offence under the Animals act to cause unnecessary suffering to an animal., and I would suggest that refusing to treat an injured animal would fit that.
As an owner of 3 dogs, 3 horses and a hamster, I would whole heartily agree with getting insurance cover. If I hadn't, I would now be down at the docks doing favours for sailors! :shock:
