I pay £25 for consultation. yesterday my bill came to estimate £80-£100 for consultation, 0.01ml pain relief at £5, overnight stay and operation to ampitate bearded dragon leg
 so I suppose the bill was ALOT less then I expected. The vet I saw wasnt a reptile vet but the one carrying out the operation at another surgery is.

ampitating is a very diffcult procedre ive heard, oregon has one of the best Animal hospitals around, steve irwin even did a mini-series on it, they ampitated a lizards leg. hope your beardie is fine after the operation. here its expensive...i spend 90 dollars for just a visit without any medication.

While we're on this subject... is the consultation fee per animal for most people?? Im just wondering what they would charge if you took 10 hatchlings in for checking over...

Hi Tim, at my vets he only charges me for his time rather than per Animal. If I were to take in 10 hatchlings and he managed to check them all within the half hour consultation then it would still only cost me £15. If however he did not get them all done in one consultation I would have to pay another £15 for a seperate consultation if you see what I mean
He is pretty good though and usually if he goes over by say 15 minutes he tells me not to worry about it and just charges me for a normal consutation...

I was wondering if everyone elses vets makes you pay the full amount on the day of the visit or when you pick the animal up. Fair dos my bill wasnt too bad this time but what happens if things are alot worse? Surely they dont send you away with pets with parts hanging off if you havent got the money to pay that day?

Ours charges for the time as well rather than the animal and because of the amount of animals we have come through the door in bad shape we have a farm account as well (drops the price a bit and we pay monthly invoices rather than there and then) i think our last visit was a BCI and he needed some baytril tablets as well as an MOT it came to 31 pounds all inclusive, we also have him out for home visits as well no extra charge if there are alot of animals that need a checkup or need to be treated as its easier for him and us.

My recent trip with Obi cost me a HUGE amount of money!!!
£49 to be seen!! plu Obi had a blood test, a poo sample,anitbotics for 2 weeks and worm treatment in total for everything it cost about £200 for the vet bill! I know there is cheaper in my area but this vet was recomended by someone i know at cholchester zoo so I know its a gooden! Im in Canvey Island,Essex but the vets was in Upminster about 20 mins away on the a127(just incase anyone is looking for a good rep vet!)

I have been to my vets twice this year, the 1st time I took one tortoise for consultation and treatment, that was £50.00...
However the 2nd time I took a number of torts (females) for xrays, because I knew one was having trouble laying her eggs...Anyway 2 torts had eggs inside them, so we decided to have them induced (with oxytocin)...That came to just over £90.00. all up...My vet knows his torts, and I have known him for years, so I would say he is very reasonable indeed, I am in Kent...T.T.
