No it was all fine with me.
It was a bit odd re costs for us. Kipps isn’t insured and this was made clear at the outset, as was our moral / ethical / whatever the right word is opposition to spending thousands and thousands on an animal. Initially it was “you’re looking at 1500’ish quid at the very outset for scans, bloods, x-rays etc and if surgery is involved would be at least another 2-3k “. I explained again that we don’t agree in spending thousands on chasing problems on small animals so we would not be doing that. The costs then seemed to shrink substantially to a level we were prepared to entertain.
I have to say I find it a bit odd / distasteful that a vets would mention their 0% payment plans for the big bill before ever mentioning they could shave the costs by +70%.
