Blaze is booked in :(

well rang my local vet today to ask about neutering Blaze and they said it would cost between £62 - £99 dependant on the day how much anaesthetic etc, is this a normal price? as i paid that for my dog to be done and thought rabbits would be cheaper? i have been told in the past that my vets is a rip off but never took much notice :roll:

anyway i phoned the vets inside my local pets at home and they said £68 inclusive off check-up the following day after op and check-up the week after plus because i work for the NHS i also got a 10% discount as well so it will cost about £61 with after-care as well ....so i ended up booking him in for fri 26th march and now i,m panicking thinking have i done right thing or should i have gone to my own vets and paid more :?

has anyone else used companion care vets as i would love to hear feedback on your visit good or bad
 
I understand that each Companion Care is different so one persons experience will not be anothers . .

personally my local one is c***p and I wouldn't take a rabbit there if it was the last vets in town.
 
i would ask if they have an exotic vet there, i personally dont go to our pets at home one as my vets has a specialised rabbit vet and normal vets dont get as much training with exotics as they do cats and dogs, but just my opinon really i feel happy leaving casper with my vet but i think i would worry all day with another vet =]
 
Rimmis chop cost me £69.... a memerable number, lol. At a very bun savvy vets about 40 mins from me, that included a follow up app 7-10 days later to check it healed ok. The op was done by the one and only Jason Burgess *swoon* in their hospital (its a big vets with its own attached hospital and pet store ... for pet stuff, no pets are sold there of course).

I would have asked if they had any bun savvy (sometimes know as 'exotics') specialists. :thumb: Care and knowledge is more important than cost.
 
Neutering our males was £48 each. This is in south Manchester. I have never heard of charging more based on the amount of ga used.
