Our dog Paddy recently had an eye infection. I took him to the vets.
He was prescribed Fucidyl (??? Spelling) and Piriton.
The vet was out of Fucidyl, so wrote me a prescription to get it from the chemist and charged me £45 for the consult and the Piriton.
I paid £5.88 at the chemist for the Fucidyl (which would have been £25 from the vets!).
I then had to go back a week later, which cost me another £45 plus £5.88.
£100 for an eye infection, for which the human drugs would have cost a little over £10 (I have since found out that Piriton is an allergy tablet available over the counter for £2).
I wish I could find a vets that would either charge for the consult but offer to write prescriptions, or scrap the consult and charge only for the medication. But that would be in a dreamland! LOL
