most folk have had the vet perform a Caesarian on ewes from time to time without eye watering charges.The other day I took my six year old collie to be checked by the vet as she appeared to be in some discomfort as she approached her time.On checking her the vet advised a Caesarian was the safest way forward.I agreed and was given a printed sheet to sign before the operation would proceed. This included a note of the charge£1175 and would I uplift the dog before closing in two hours time.My question is are such charging fair given the comparable operation and charges for sheep on the farm?most farmer would put down a ewe before paying such a charge but where a dog is concerned people like myself would pay up before losing a beloved dog?Are the vets taking a loan of us or not?
