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

On a serious note be careful what he eats for a few more days.

 

I would still have him on chicken and rice myself after spending £1500 at the vets.

Glad your dog is ok bud, seems like it was pretty close at one point, very pleased for you.

 

Just wanted to say a few things from a vets point of view.

 

Vet fees do seem relatively expensive. But there are a few reasons for this.

 

Firstly, the costs to develop, pass the necessarily stringent tests to be able to market the drugs, marketing and distributing of veterinary drugs is massive. Combine this with a relatively small market in comparison to human medicines makes it far less profitable for drug companies. Furthermore, drug companies are huge muti-national companies which make an absolute fortune.

 

Vets obviously have to put a mark up on these expensive drugs, and yes, historically this mark up has been far too much and vets have made their money from the sale of drugs rather than charging for their professional time. Most vets now put a standard 50% mark up on drug sales rather than 100% and are charging slightly more for their time.

 

Secondly, vets are very highly trained, having spent 5 years (not 3,4 or 7, although it is 6 at cambridge). You'd expect to pay £250-300 an hour to see a lawyer, accountant, or other professional person. Think even how much a plumber or electrician will charge out of hours?

 

Veterinary is also considered one of the most highly competitive degree's to get on, there being only limited numbers of places (about 100-120) at the 7 vet schools that there are in the entire UK.

 

We are very fortunate in this country to have national health care when we never see how much our visits to the doctors or hospital costs. Anyone who has ever gone private will know that a private consultant will charge £300-500 per hour.

 

Vets do not earn a fortune. This is a relatively unknown fact. People see vets driving around in newish estate cars and look at their vet fees and assume that they are rolling in it. Compared to doctors, dentists (especially) and lawyers ets, vets make a very modest wage, vets start on about £22K out of uni, which is an extremely comfortable salary but it's not what young people of equal intelligence would earn working in the city or in business having spent 2 or 3 years less at uni. A longer course also means a higher student loan, usually ranging from 18K to 50K plus in some cases. Combine this with long days and a large amount of out of hours work (on call generally 1 in 4 nights and weekends). Vets are genuinely vets for the fulfilment from dealing with and treating animals and certainly not for money.


All in all, I think that for the work and commitment that they put in, vet fees are fairly reasonable, in MOST cases.

 

Glad they managed to fix your pup, many happy hunting days lay ahead.
