Dogs rule cats drool! My Bichon Frise. My Labrador. FUCK YEAH!

A couple of months ago my missus took her westie to the vets with ear problems. The vet explained that she had polips in her ear and a course of antibiotics and ear drops should clear it up but she might need surgery to remove them. Well she got the drops and antibiotics costing £65. After giving her the drops and antibiotics for the presciberd amount of time they seemed to clear up. Then they came back so she went to our local farm supplies and got the same drops for £6 making the antibiotics £59 and a bit steep if you ask me but hey ho. She took her back to the vets who told her she would need to have the op to remove then costing OVER £300! She didn't seem impressed when I said "Fuck that I'll buy you another dog!" I then sugested she goes to another vets about 10 miles away to see what they say. She had the appointment this afternoon and the vet agreed that she would indeed need surgery to remove them and to drain the blood from her ear (which the first vet missed alltogether!) at a cost of LESS than £100! She is booked in at 8:30 tomorrow morning to have her op and she'll be home in the afternoon. How the fuck can one vet justify charging well over three times the amount is beyond me the fucking robbing bastards!
