Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 14 hours ago, The Moonster said: It's an absolute bump this vet carry on. My cat wasn't pissing properly last week, out to the vet for 5 minutes sent on our way with medication and a 75 quid bill but crucially told to get back in touch if he's not pissed properly. 2 days later no improvement so I phone up and I'm told to head back out to check his bladder isn't blocked which it wasn't but we don't know whats causing it. Sent on my way with more medication (human medication which they made me sign a waiver for), an additional 44 quid bill and a 300 quid ultrasound/bloodwork arranged for tomorrow morning. The wee man sank the human medication, pissed a fucking river and is now back to normal, but still need him checked out so I'll be circa 400 quid down by the end of the week. I'd love to know the profits these c***s make. They should have a mask on and a swag bag, heard of someone getting charged £75 for a prescription for Piriton (for a cats itchy skin) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 21 hours ago, Bigmouth Strikes Again said: Vets? Took him along for a check up as he wasn't himself. £60 for a five minute examination, had a listen to his heart, then a thermometer up his arse, (he was traumitised by the whole thing and spent hours hiding after it) She suggests blood test, fair enough I think. Get to the till and old biddy says £180. Turns out he's ok, but FFS. Yup, was the same a couple of months ago when Freyja got her tail caught in the door. £60 consultation fee, £30-odds for 1 injection, £50-odds for the other. All plus VAT of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I imagine our dog owning pals are getting similarly fleeced. I used to groan inwardly every time the mog came back from the vet with more pills because it meant getting the wee sod to swallow them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get to the till and old biddy says £180. Turns out he's ok, but FFS. I get a bill like that every month. The pair of them have heart abnormalities, to the point that the vet always acts surprised when I bring them both in for their bimonthly checkups, and the wee shites are on medication and special food for it. The regime has either been working well, or the vet's at it and there's hee-haw wrong with them - neither were supposed to make it to 7, but they're 8 and 10 respectively. There comes a point every month where I despair about being potless, then I look over and see this 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 An addendum to the above - one of the little sods just decided to have a huge messy boak all over the upstairs carpet, roughly a foot away from the bathroom with its easy-to-clean flooring. Neither is willing to shop the other for doing it. They're lucky I love them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Top tip for keeping your mog cool in the heatwave, Webbox lick-e-lix, bang them in the freezer, and you've got a fish flavoured ice lolly. Absolutely vile, but the Smudger and the Dukemeister fucking love them. Thank you. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) We had a cat years ago who used to love hiding under hanging things (curtains, towels, duvets) before running out and attacking our ankles when we walked past, only he'd always leave his tail hanging out, wagging with excitement the closer you got. My wife would tap his tail to give him a wee fright. I told her the same thing as when our young son would be clearly making up a massive fib on the spot and she'd tell him how she knew he was lying - do you really want him to learn and get better at this? Edit: I'd imagine that everybody's cat has been absolutely speltered the last few days. I've been constantly stepping over stretched-out bodies in doorways with the pleading look of, "don't make me move!"

Popular Post Torpar Posted August 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2022 I used to always tell people "I'm not a cat person". Starting going out with my wife 7 years ago and her cat, Sparkles, would not leave me alone, he used to yell at me every weekend as if to say "where the f*ck have you been all week?" Eventually he become "my cat", I'd feed him, clean him when need be, take him to the vet etc. Used to joke with my wife that if we ever broke up we would have to arrange visitations with Sparkles. We knew he was getting old, 16 years this year, and that there was a chance he was near the end. Still when I found him under the kitchen table on Saturday morning, not looking too great, my heart sank. Took him to the emergency vet and they told me he had no heart beat, most likely had a heart attack. Not a big crier usually but I was greeting my eyes out before the vet even got the words out. He was some boy! 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
