Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

What a relief!
Sunday I let my boxer out around 4pm. He got into a fight fence with neighbors relatives dogs behind me. Wooden fence so no contact but he either hit a rock or the fence with his left canine and cracked it.
Took him to the 24/7 vet and they gave me some pain killers and an estimate of $1200 to $2000 to remove canine and polish and clean teeth. Sticker shock but I would have paid it. The on duty vet made several comments about checking with my normal vet. This place has 2 top vets in reptile and birds and another is a vet for Cleveland Zoo. They are an emergency place and have all the high tech equipment.
Called my vet this morning and said come in at 2. My boxer has 2 lumps and 2 skin tags also. She said you want us to take care of those also? I said depends on costs. She said if I was willing to pay other place then I think you'll be surprised and said she'd be back in a min.
They are going to remove canine, clean and polish teeth, remove 2 lumps, 2 skin tags for between $450 to $580. Depending if canine comes out easy or hard. Most vets in this area charge $350 just to clean and polish.
As far as the dog, other than swelling on side of face you wouldn't notice anything. Running jumping and begging for food.

That is a relief! Last year my dog need a couple of teeth removed and a cleaning, it was around $450 at my regular vet. Those emergency vets charge a lot, even for non emergency work.

Well he had surgery Thursday morning. Total was $518. Tooth came out easy. They put a drain tube in where tumer was in armpit area of front left leg. I go in Tuesday to remove tube then on the 3rd to remove stitches.
They gave me some pills to give him the night before and 2 hours before his visits. She says he doesn't like them, lol. Pills to chill him out.
I've been using this vet office for 30 plus years. The original owner retired and his female vet took ownership. She now only does surgeries and doesn't do office calls.
The new ones are much younger and don't seem to have confidence when dogs get aggressive. Brock has never bitten anyone but he will back people off if he don't want them around. One tech got on her knees and started to put her face near him. I said, Please don't do that.
Brock may feel my uneasiness with newer vets though. First night home he was pretty nauseous and out of it. Next morning he was ready for food and water. Last night I had to lock him up when daughter and granddaughters came over because he started hopping and jumping. Thought for sure he was going to bust something.
