Yes you do tend to see a different vet each time but we get a different doctor each time at Peel House so not unusual to us.

Oh Tinks it must have been so awful. I get so attached to pets and hate to see them suffer. They really are just like a member of the family. Hopefully he didn't suffer too much.

I understand that now as I did my research after the event. Just one of them things really.

I kind of believe everything happens for a reason. some we just cannot see, I was nearly put of owning dogs again after my loss but now have 2 beauties.

Back to the topic, I find I will avoid the vets as much as possible now, and usually search the internet and dog forums to see if I can help myself rather than got to the vets.

As a trip to the vets usually = ££££££££

Although as I have insurance, there would be no hesitation should an emergency arrise as cost would not be an issue.
