update on the ear, took jake to the vets today, explained that there is two puncture wounds on the ear, they ignored me and said he must have had a good bashing on the ear, and one eye was weeping so that must have got a good bashing too??? any way, he needs a general anaethstic , blah blah, £312!!!!!! no way says me. ok general sedation £179. ok says me. leave him there. get a phone call saying its done but the problem is scar tissue ( the ear was already cauliflowered due to a haemotoma some while ago ), so they need to put him under general to remove it £450!!! no says i. ok the other alternative is to take the top of the ear off £450!!! which part of i cant afford £312 makes you think i can afford the £450?? ok they say but in a couple of months he will prob need the top of the ear off, and the earlier estimate of £179 has come in lower, £110. the sedation only took 7 mins instead of the estimated 10 !!!!!!!! now i love my pets but the vets are having a laugh, no wonder people abandon them.
