Guest asha Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 how can it work if the vet did not know what was wrong? :-/

grizzal Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 A very expensive [not 100% sure] answer. hope it works chico123
sapper756 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 £116,52 :'( :'( :'( :'( I would have insisted on a precise diagnosis for that much, and a gaurenteed recovery :-/
chico123 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Posted December 5, 2008 hope so too paul desperate hate to see birds sick chico
sapper756 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 if it works worth every penny Goodluck m8 let us know how you get on.
jimmy white Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 hope your birds get well i would be very wary of an avian vet charging you this amount , without giving you a precise diagnosess. like many other jobs , there are some good at their job, and some not so good ,,, how can you possibly mend something when you dont even know its broken?? this is an example of a vet just taking your money on a guess ,, not really the way ,, my thoughts are, hes more interested in making money than curing/diagnosing birds a really top class avian vet , really gennuine in caring and healing birds , would have gave you a diagnoses , then the medicine to cure it,, then send you a break down bill , for the cost of the visit , and the cost of the medicines , etc,, theres no way these medicines would tally up to that amount, however i must say that you have did well and proper in your actions, regarding your pigeons, but no diagnoses, and a large bill like that!! , i would be seriously thinking of a second opinion ,,,,,,,,,,from the cit, advice

PS, one would hope now :P it all works for you. Enjoy.

phillips Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 hi dennis like i said on the phone mate if you need anything give me a bell your not a million miles away and im willing to help cheers mate jay
chico123 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Posted December 19, 2008 hi chico here re vet charges £116 seems a lot but the anti biotics worked and birds are now fine so money well spent big thank you to jason phillips for sound advice regards chico
pigeon pete57 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Posted December 19, 2008 Its only a matter of time till you se a vet on rogue traders the prices they charge
grizzal Posted December 19, 2008 Report Posted December 19, 2008 Glad the A/B worked chico,nice to get the birds back to g/health again, All the best for next season
OLDYELLOW Posted December 19, 2008 Report Posted December 19, 2008 shame it cost so much a complete test would of cost £30 ANTIBIOTICS NO MORE THAN £30 so a bill no more than £60 tops , glad birds better tho
chico123 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Posted December 21, 2008 yes the price was high and in hindsight i would have handled it differently hope i never have to again but i panicked a bit but alls well that ends well a merry xmas to you all regards chico
OLDYELLOW Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 next time get a test sent out via lizzy rigsby or northern hygene will save you alot of £££'s , but as you say birds better , and a merry Christmas to you and your family
