sounds as if Alfie is bidding to become a fully paid-up member of the norty puss brigade

he should be thoroughly ashamed of himself, scaring his Uncle Ron like that, and turning him into a midnight flasher :cccooorrr:

Ron what a gorgeous boy and thank goodness you stepped in and made room for him - his name really suits him - not sure the vets kept the costs down that much for you but hope all follow up visits and any further treatment they will cover for free

Alfie is :Luv2:

It doesn't sound cheap for a straight forward amputation. Not sure if your vets are that much more expensive than Canterbury, Ron? Round here an amputation is around £150 at CP rates that last time I checked.  :shy:

I'd have asked the owner for the PTS money he was going to give the vet.   :sneaky:

Some vets really are just in it for the money.  :tired: Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the little one.  :hug: :hug: :)

I had a phone call from my vets Saturday it was about a little 3 year old cat that had been brought in to be put to sleep as it had a Abbess on its front leg and the owner could not aford the treatment, the nurse phoned me and  asked me if i could help save him but i would have to pay the cost to treat him i could not say no :( so they went ahead with the opp, it cost me £300, i picked him up today poor little lad had to have his leg amputated, you would think the vets would have gone half way with the cost but no  >:(  it would have been easer to put the poor little lad down >:( anyway he is safe here with me now,even though its put a big hole in our bank, but i always think things will always work out, if the owner had got the poor lad to the vets earlier maybe they Gould heaved the poor little lads leg But  he is here safe with me now bless him. :hug: :hug:
