I may have come across as slightly cynical about vets, but unfortunately not all vets are as good as others, as I've found out in the past; I've even lost a pet due to a vet giving the wrong dose in a course of treatment.
And when you add up the cost of all the cheap treatments, sometimes it can be more expensive than just biting the bullet. I paid out around £30 each for three lots of AB drops over the course of a year, which doesn't sound much, but when the new vet took swabs and actually got the problem sorted, I only paid £60, because the rest was covered by insurance. And the most important thing was that Indie's ears were sorted
