We have a five-year-old Jack Russell. A few weeks ago started noticing a bit of blood on his poo. Vet said it was his food irritating his gut & to change his diet, but then a bloody lump started to appear when he poos, then it goes back in again. Vet said it's likely to be a harmless polyp. Don't know if that's the same as a haemorrhoid? Anyway we can get it lasered off but has to be at a specialist vet (about an hour's drive away) & our vet referred us. They have booked us in for a consultation (£80) & then expect to do the op on the same day, and it's likely to cost... wait for it... over £1000! My question is...why is it so expensive? Does that sound normal? Also any advice would be welcome. Should we shop around? We've never insured him. TIA
