Hi everyone,
I apologise if this is a really dumb question.
When my bridge bun Hammy began going downhill last year, he was going to the out of hours vet hospital quite frequently. Soon after we heard rumours (which turned out to be untrue) that our regular vet surgery was closing, and that we should get our rabbits registered elsewhere asap. We didn't realise that the out of hours also had a day time exotic vet department (RWAF gold listed) so obviously we were happy to register all three buns with them.
Hammy has since passed, the girls had their vaccinations and checkups with new vets in spring and the vet felt that Maple might need a dental in the future - advised a checkup in 3 months time (in about a couple of weeks).
Basically, it costs almost £500 at the exotic vet for a dental :shock: Closer to £150 when we last used the previous vet (we have used them for many, many dentals with multiple rabbits and have never experienced any issues in the past).
My question is, is it okay to take Maple to the old vet for a dental? We never un-registered with them as such...the price difference is so huge that if I can avoid paying that much extra, it would be a big relief.
We are soon re-locating to a different part of the country, so in a couple of months I won't be able to use either of these vet surgeries anymore.
TIA for any advice
