I paid over £400 for my chinchilla to be treated at an exotics vets last week. This was a referral from my local vet as chinchillas are classed as exotics, hence the inflated price tag!
I was told that she should be fine 2 days after the op (although has an ongoing condition so will require treatment every 3-4 months). In short she's not been fine so I rang them to see about next steps. I was told that the vet wanted to see her again and I would be charged another consult fee - about £90! And there will likely be additional treatment costs on top.
I think this is outrageous as obviously the original op hasn't worked and IMO they should not be charging me more money - they should be sorting out the issue. I've forked out an arm & a leg already and am prepared for costs every few months but not twice in 2 weeks; and I can't actually afford another bill so soon. Feel really annoyed, not to mention that I'm 8.5 months pg and this vet is miles away so I can't keep schlepping backwards & forwards...
