activeviii Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Got a bit of a problem. the vet we use for tail docking is on holiday, pups came a little early. 5 cocker pups. we have phoned a few vets but they dont want to know. can anyone help please. we use Mr hunter in stroud but not around for 2 weeks and they have no one to fill in. pups are 2 days old so need ASAP. and vet took emergency time out so we are in trouble. thanks guys for any help offered Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadSpringer Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Try Edgegrove Gundogs at Cheltenham, they may be able to put you in contact with a vet that will dock 01242 242 892. Good luck! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 we have found one but at £41 a pup seems a bit steep considering the one vet charges £10 a pup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutty Boots Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 That seems rather steep, but they know you're in a predicament & time is running out, looks like hobsons choice I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 does that include chipping? seeing as thats a requirement of docking if so the price isn't too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 £10 for d+d and then a fee later for chipping. the place that is doing it for £41, £17 is for chip so its £24 for 5 minutes and a pair of snips.lol. pups have to go to vets as well, no call out. times that by litter count...OMG im in the wrong job...haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll cover it on pup sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
