roosika 110 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks mate al get her took tomorrow Quote Link to post
bullmastiff 610 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Had the same with Tess. Snapped the nail in half the first time and it bled like buggery, took about 4-6 weeks until she was right again. Second time she snapped the bone, so had her to the vets and got them removed. Shop around though as my local vet wanted £280 to remove them. Different vet up the road wanted £150. Needless to say I've swapped vets! And next pup ill be making sure there taken off when their new born (£10) Quote Link to post

bullmastiff 610 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I guess they prescribed you the not needed 'town vet standard'? Antibiotics and pain relief. Amoxicillin and rymadal (sp?) Plus £20 for a bandage!! Bloody vets! Quote Link to post
bullmastiff 610 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Don't go back Monday to see 'if' it needs removing. That will just be another £40-£60 bill for them to do a check up and remove/change the bandage. Just bite the bullet and get them removed 1 Quote Link to post
roosika 110 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Will do mate thanks Quote Link to post
jeemes 3,561 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Ask the vet for a price. The dressing changes should be included.. A good vet likes to see the job after aswell so dont keep away imo but just make sure the dressing changes are not extra. Ive never known them to be and they shouldnt, a price is a price unless theres complications. I paid £160 about 3 years ago and that included 2 or 3 changes.. Quote Link to post
