£25 for a microchip,
£94 for a spay,
£21 for vaccination....

I wouldn't mind, but I've microchipped & vaccinated more cats myself,
than I've had cooked dinners! But, ferrets need a parvo vaccination, and
if Gerties Jill jab that she had in July is anything to go by, I'm glad
to have paid the vet to microchip and vaccinate her!

I have it on good authority that if I were to get her spayed in Swansea,
the spay would cost around £45. But it's the trek back and fore to
Swansea. Still, Barney will be all fixed up, vaccinated etc when I get
him and I'm paying only £12 donation for him, so it swings in
roundabouts, and I like the vets where Gertie was done - they've done a
good job and know their stuff. Mind for their prices, they need to!

The mogs vet costs about 5-10% more than the vet I use for Bonnie (who
uses a different one to Gertie...), but he's a feline specialist and I
really like the personal approach. I rang this morning to check if he
wanted to do a follow up or not, and he always makes time to speak to me
and talk things through - you never feel like you're just another
client. Plus he REALLY knows his stuff.

I find it slightly disturbing that I am OCD enough that my animals all
go to different veterinary practices so that they see the most
appropriate health care professional. It took me 3 years to register
with a doctor and a lot of persuasion before I did that!
