You’d think replacing a slipped staple in a small wound would be included, a ten second job, would be included. Receptionist asked for £30! Daughter said she couldn’t afford it( with two babies and granny in tow), and had assumed it was part of the first repair. The girl spoke to the vet, who came out and said no fee , and none for the follow up removal. Very kind of him, but I bet he had to delete it from the computer records or the company would be down on him.
We want to do the best for our pets, you can understand how some people who don’t qualify for or can’t get to PDSA, leave things too long. My rescue dog was an example of this, 28 teeth had to be removed, and he had associated pneumonia. Cost me a lot, but after years, I’ve found an independent one man vet, who is cheaper, and has queues out the door.
The staple charging practice is usually deserted.
