Far out, they really nickel and dime you. A hospital admission fee for laying down some newspaper and giving the floor a quick clean afterwards?
Big Pet Pharma are racking in the dollars with those medicines :/

I felt the insurance claim charge just takes the biscuit to be fair. Especially as I’ve got to do it and all they do is sign it!

That's pretty normal with chicken wings; they always go down whole in that they don't rip bits off, they just generally give them a bit of a crunch to break the bones and then swallow. If they haven't broken the bones enough, they'll regurgitate and have another go. He obviously needed a third go! I'd have just let him get on with it
@Leanne, poor you, that must have been very stressful!
Is it wrong that your post has motivated me to cook brownies for my dinner guests tonight?

It also reminded me that I hadn't made brownies in a while and that I definitely need to make a batch shhhhh.

Oh my goodness! But £360 for a bucket of sick is something I'd pay over and over to have my dog back. OH has learned his lesson I hope - because Mas certainly won't.

Note to self. Try to plan emergencies for within vet hours!
That never works, it's always at weekends or night - the blighters do it on purpose!

Maisy will chew a bull pizzle until the last 2 inches then swallow that bit whole (which is sometimes then retched up - usually the middle of the night thankyou).
A (large) piece of chicken will go down in one swallow but a single peanut will last at least 10 minutes - ??

Glad he's feeling better now, hopefully he will associate the brownies with being made sick and all that nastiness and then never do this again???
You can only hope!

Just caught up. What a nightmare night you had. Hope Mas is better today and I really hope that the rest of your Saturday is completely boring and utterly uneventful!
