speedy87 42 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 My 9month old salukigreyxbull was being a bit sulky friday morning, chucked his food back up and started with dioreaha. Therefore I starved him for 24 hours. He started going badly lost 1.8kg since friday. I tried tubing drilite into him 20ml at a time 3 times an hour. He could not keep it down so I rang vets emergency number and 1st appointment was today(I rang saturday mid day).got there dog had a sickness and antibiotic jab. Vet thinks its just a bug from something he's eaten. I got two new syringes for giving him more drylite and 15 amox antibiotics tablets. £4 each for 10ml syringes and £55 for tablets. Pants down comes to mind but I suppose at end of day dog comes 1st 1 Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 All my vet's still charge a call out fee on a saturday after 12pm..so i still think that is cheap. Quote Link to post
LaraCroft 863 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 The dog could have been worse, yes - it could also have been a bit better - so it's a judgement call. There is a really nasty gastric bug going around the amount - vomiting, bloody diarrhoea, really pulling the dogs down. I have seen plenty dying with it, and plenty that shook the symptoms off after a few days. Quote Link to post

MikeTheDog 153 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 55 quid to fix your dog is very reasonable imo! I assume that was the total bill for that visit....Have you thought of a cheaper hobbie? 3 Quote Link to post
