Booked my cat into the vets today for a Program flea jab. Originally I was booked in to see the veterinary nurse who would perform the jab. A few days later vets call me and say that basically, because the cat hasn't been seen by the vets since January and the cat is getting on a bit a vet needs to see him. So I query whether I will be charged more, for seeing a vet not a nurse. I was told "no, you wouldn't be charged anymore just because the vet is doing the injection and not the nurse".
So we go to the vets, vet does an examination, couple of issues found. One is a weight problem the second is a tooth problem. Vet gives me the choice of blood test now for the weight issue or bring cat back in a month and weigh again. I opt for blood test. Done there and then. Discussions had re tooth extraction which will cost between £150-250.
Leave and get the bill for £105. For the flea jab, the blood test and a bloody consultation. when I queried it they tried to get me to pay, I refused, and said if there was an issue I would like to take it up with the Practice Manager. I paid the rest of the bill.
Awaiting a call from the vets regarding this.
