OSoSwift Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 You don't have to rub in that you got Jerry cuddles... I feel left out now Should have gone over for a walk but too busy freezing! At least you will only miss 1 show... the next show after that isn't for another 3 weeks :D Unless there is a country show in there or something? Yeah Albany the 18th and 19th, which I am going to :) I am not going this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 sashagirl can you be more specific? there are lots of vets NoR but some may still be further away for you than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Poor Booty ended up at the vet this morning He was sterilised just before Australia Day and was going well until Monday when he started looking a tad uncomfortable and then yesterday morning he ate his breakfast lying down Mum rang and booked him into the vet and got told off because he hadn't been wearing an Elizabethan collar - except that he didn't lick at all until Sunday (4 days after being sterilised) and even now doesn't lick very often. Anyway turns out the problem isn't caused by licking anyway but he has some infection going on in his scrotum. He was given an antibiotic injection, has a cream that needs to be rubbed on every day and I am guessing tablets too. Comment from the vet was apparently "he is only a young dog"... um, he is a 9yo Apparently she was shocked when Mum pointed that out :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 My girl was done last year, I was looking at the bill yesterday. It said sterilisation of bitch under 20kg - $291 and IV fluids were $70 on top (I had specifically requested them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Poor Boots Hope he is on the mend, soon! I've had some not so nice vet bills this week, too, along with some sleepless nights. Dogs, who'd have em!!!! Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) ST, you would think so, but obviously they didn't read that part :laugh: Sashagirl, how big a dog? How old? I could ask Mum how much Boots cost but I would assume at least $300. He did get pre-bloods done and I think she got them to give fluids? ETA: Boots is around 20kg Edited February 1, 2012 by mirawee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Oh and it usually costs less to sterilise boys because the surgery is not as invasive. My boy dog was $152 from memory (he was about 5kgs at the time) at Applecross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
