Some bustard threw some grapes into my garden. I recon this was a deliberate attempt to kill my dachshund.
I don`t know if she got any but I found 3.
I have to act quick.
2 hr window apparently.

I was told before that hydrogen peroxide 3% will make her sick. This is what the vet would do and charge me £500 plus.

Where can I get hydrogen peroxide 3% or does anyone know a vet that isnt a theiving bustard.

Hope you sort something out. I don`t remember the exact price but I don`t think 3 Bridges Vet was as much as £550.

Are they definitely grapes? I`ve just now found a small amount (15) of what I thought were red grapes in our garden. On closer inspection they seem more like large cranberries. Definitely thrown into our garden though.

Signs usually happen quite fast, is she exhibiting any symptoms panting etc?

It`s not like chocolate that you know most dogs would eat, hope it works out ok for you dude, I understand your panic.

She`s ok. She didn`t get any.
Bill only £430
Only!
Anyone got a budgie I can swap her for?
Im gonny look at independent vets. We should all boycott the ones owned by large groups.
Need to find the sicko that did it.
I got 3% peroxide and liquid active carbon online. Ready for the next emergency.

Glad she’s ok, Parrot.
Have you considered pet insurance? I’ve got one for Daisy and have always managed to claim it back for emergencies.

Parrots and budgies living together...mass hysteria?

Great news as thread about a deid dug would`ve upset the feelgood factor slightly.

It`s a good shout but the prices can be enormous for older dogs meaning you`re as well just putting money aside instead. Vet prices are through the roof, particularly at Inglis it would seem.

Yes she`s insured but I still have to find it up front. Don`t get it all back. Admin fees and excess.
3rd OOH incident in 2 months. I was worried insurance will get hiked.

Thats the bit that sticks in my craw with the insurance - having to fund the full price up front yourself is farcical. Should be your excess, then the rest goes through insurance.

If our cats ended up in there on an emergency appointment just now then we would struggle to fund it up front due to other financial commitments 🤷🏻‍♂️ doesn’t mean we don’t love them just as much.

Glad your dog is ok PARrot 👍🏻

I wasn`t aware that grapes could be fatal to dogs, is this something that happens regularly to dog owners, never heard of it before

Grapes,cherries,and chocolate,very not good to give to dogs.Although,some products,have to given in large doses to cause serious harm.But ,then again,depending on size of the dog.

I`ve heard good things about Ferguson Vet but it is in Glenrothes

I know knowledge is good, but it does feel like some vets are using the love of an owner to massively exploit fear and worry about a lot of things to make a mint on stuff that isn`t really required.

Heard of someone who has recently been charged 4k for an MRI to be told their 12 year old dog has an inoperable tumour. Mental.

Vets are an absolute rip off. What i dont understand is they check the dug, give you the medicine AND at the end "ohhh there is another type of medicine that can also help but its an extra £30"....... now the wife went "well if it helps then why not" I just said not a chance as we were already at £125 for a 10 min check up plus medicine.
The last dog was on his way out so off to the vets and told this injection might help and tablets.....£85....back home and he died around 4hrs later sooo back to the vets to hand him in and i asked if i could get a refund on the tablets as they were not opened...a strict no! Then it was £130 for them to take him and i was asked if i wanted his ashes for an extra £100(luckily my wife was not there as it would have been a yes)......I just said this is a money making machine this place!

We use Billy McNeil in Aberdour now, no faffing about and charges a decent price.

I was 2.5k a few years back after mine swallowed chewing gum. Thankfully I only needed to pay excess up front. Insurance took care of the rest.
