My little buddy who is a farm dog had a barb wire ...

My little buddy who is a farm dog had a barb wire cut about 6 pm last night after all my normal livestock vets hours. I decided to go to er clinic to get a few stitches and not bother my normal vets for something as simple as a few stitches. I was presented with a suggested cost of $875.00 for the stitches , which was about $700.00 to high from what a farm vet would have charged. Now this littl dog is my entire life and he gets the best of everything but this price for a few stitches was crazy now if it was life or death than that is a intire different subject . I went to er two years ago after a bull stomped me crazy and had a head full of stictches and the total bill was only $400.00 dollars . This tells me that they are preying on people s emotions and for most this is the only place to gowith your pets but totally stay away unless it s a life or death . For comparison prices for $875.00 that would be preg checking over 100 cows that would have to be worked thru a large corral and chute. Or assist with two very hard births from cattle.
My little buddy is fixed and on the mend all ready this morning and no we did not use the emergency clinic last night for something as minor as stitches.
