Vets

decky1

Spoke to a woman yesterday who told me she had to get her dog put down due to bad health [14 years old] she said it cost her 350 to get it cremated, ''why did you not bury it in the garden i said--she told me the vet would not give her the dog back as it's not the done thing now [illegal?] i said to her i wish i had been with you you would have got him back no problem, are Vets allowed to do this now? this woman would'nt have a lot of money and had to borrow it to pay the vet on top of whatever it cost to put it down maybe 100 or more?:mad:

I was talking about vets with someone yesterday. Are Vet's doctors? Is their title Dr?

What kind of cap? A bottle cap? A tweed cap? Do share.

You shouldn't be burying as disease can spread and contamination of water table also possible.

Hello SuperNintendo Chalmers

you can put dead pets in the brown bin

Where can I bury my pet snake?

Noopti

I was asked if I wanted mine cremated or I could take her back home to bury.

That vet just sounds like an arse.

The Generals did the ordering.
We did the dying.

The vet should be report to veterinary council if that fee is true.

Generally, Vet practices actually keep all the bodies for collection and then they're cremated. They're charged approx 30 euro's for collection.

Most Vet practices now do home visits for euthanasia now.
They're between 80 - 120 depending on travel distance.

Different story if the owner wants the ashes back, lot more expensive.
Recent enough court case on that actually.

The Euthanasia medicine itself costs no more that €5.

Any chance the vet charged the patient for outstanding debts?
Surgery or something that wasn't covered by insurance?

ah sure the green one would do--I love getting at that recycling crowed.:D

I think semi-officially vets are supposed to discourage you from taking the animal home and burying it, but I've never heard of a vet refusing someone who insisted.

If it died of anything infectious, they have to send it off for cremation though.

Dreadful thing to happen to the poor lady.

Bit late for such concerns!!

Man has buried dead beasts in the ground in this land for over 9000 years. I think if they cause an issue, that ship has very much sailed on us.

kneemos

Loads of dead animals along the roadside,nobody concerned about disease?

yes , but in this country the title is only been used the past couple of years.
When the planes hit the twin towers all vets were called in to help doctors with the injured .
Mrs wex was in hospital about two years ago and myself and our son [ a vet ] were being told by the doctor what medication she was given , medice x for example , the young lad turned and said thats wrong ,you should give medicne y for that , AND who are you the doctor snarled , im doctor ..... said the lad . He insisted that the doctor go and check his medical books , he came back a while later apolagised and changed the medication . thats part of a longer story but it saved her life

Whenever I see a vet I shake their hand and thank them for their service.

It's always a good idea, if you ever happen to pick up a gun shot
wound in the course of an armed robbery, to go to a vets office or house
and holding him at gun point force him to provide emergency medical
assistance. 'this will hold but you need to get to a hospital' - 'ain't going
near no hospitals. you speak to anyone, any cops, we know who you are you're
dead'

It was actually common practice here back in the 1970s and 80s when armed robberies were all the rage with gangs and dissidents.

I think it was practiced everywhere.
Simple and effective. You don't even need medical insurance.
And then became an action movie trope

Then she needs to report the vet. We had to have our Rough Collie euthanized three years ago. Total cost of the vet plus cremation was €60.

She may have had to pay for treatment and diagnosis of the sickness.

If you wanted the ashes back then that's around the upper tier of prices alright. But if you didn't want the ashes back then that's a mental price.

You put your animal to death humanely.

Have to bring my eldest dog for the long walk in two weeks, it sucks, this thread and memes help though.

Got my dog put to sleep a year ago and I brought him home to be buried. Cost me €70 overall but he did stay over night the night before we said goodbye.
