It's terrible. Do you have anything you can pawn at all? I would do same as you th h x

Which vets do you use?

 

Also, if you don't mind me asking have they told you how much the operation will cost on Friday?

 

I admire you for putting your pets first - I'd do exactly the same as you and I wish more people felt the same.

Is is not possible to de-register one of the pets at the PDSA and register the ill dog in its place, or are registrations permanent? I know it's just potentially moving the problem around if anything happened to whichever pet was de-registered but at least it'd sort it in the short term.

I've never used Abbey so can't talk from personal experience but a close friend used Abbey at Deepcar and they ripped her off really badly, overcharging for tests, charging different amounts for the same medication, same repeat tests etc.

 

I know someone mentioned Springfield earlier but have you actually spoken to them and explained your situation? We've always used Springfield at Moorgate and they have always been so amazing that I feel they would do everything they could to help you. Do you think it would be worth calling that branch and finding out if they can help?

 

I really feel for you, and admire you so much for what you're doing!!

I use Abbey and have found their pricing fine, they've been really great, also when my dog had surgery recently after being attacked by another dog, the actual price was nearly £100 less then the estimate, as they gave the top end estimate.

 

Also when we were away and she needed to be taken in by a friend who didn't have any money, they were perfectly happy to wait for payment until we got home from our holiday, very reasonable.

there is a vet at chesterfield that is cheaper than others but the name of it escapes me at moment

We use Highfield Vets and they have a healthcare plan which offers extended payment schemes for treatments over £250. Maybe they could help?
