If you've got to come to Newport you might as well call into Shropshire Exotics and let them have a look, they'll at least do a basic health check and you may even get a coffee! |

they are a rep vet thats the worst bit, like i said this is how bad they are for charging my cat got hit by a car and he was only a kitten and tiny so i rushed him down to the vets i really thought he was dead but they put him on oxygen for 24hrs and treatment for another 2 days (so he was there 3days) i then got to bring him home he couldnt walk at the time so put him in a indoor rabbit cage (which the vets recomened), i then got the bill a huge £595 of it  and after 3years its still going, i must have in all paid over a £1000 on this common mog |

my cat racked up a £500+ vet bill in 1day so the cost aint really an issue its the fact of you think the amount you pay you would get everything lol and as i see it if vet bills are a problem for people then they shouldnt have pets as every pet is gonna rack up a bill at some point in there life if not at the end of it
Yeah I get what your saying but £85 just to look at a pet is broad daylight robbery was he/she wearing a balaclava when you whent in? |

My local rep vet also runs a rep shop, so If I have any problems I take mine into the shop when I buy some mice, so I cheekily get a free consultation when I spend 6 quid on mice.  |

Yes, any practise with a base has overheads, but some are cheaper, some more helpful, some more specialised - we all just have to find the one with the best balance for us. |

you cant learn everything from a book
lol thats very true, but you think with the amount it costs just for them to look at them, then they would know every bit of advice they can give you and them tell ya |
