You might remember that I commented on the Vets nomination, that was posted recently about taking my dog to the vets for a 6 monthly health check?
No? No matter. Anyway, he needs a dental, so he was booked in for today, Friday 9th May. So, he was starved from 10pm last night and denied water from 7am today.
Now, keep in mind he’s had the same vet since I got him in 2019, as a rescue from Gran Caneria, and he had a dental 7 days after I got him, and they are aware he’s a rescue from there.
He’s also been at the vets, end of March, in pain. At no point has anyone asked me if he’s been tested for Brucellosis, not 2 weeks ago at his health check and booking him in for the dental, nor this morning as I signed the consent form.
So, I had to collect him from the vets, hours after I dropped him off, untreated until the results of the fucking £107 blood tests come back!
Rinse you? Your aren’t joking, then they wring you out!
No link, but I’ll find summat.
Nominated by Jeezum Priest.

You didn’t have to go all the way to Gran Canaria to get a dog JP!
There’s plenty of them for sale round here. 😁😁
6
Bloody immigrant dogs, coming over here, eh? Taking away affection from our proper English dogs, eh? 😉
And I bet it’s black or brown, etc etc.
11
He was black, but now he’s black and grey, poor little lad.
4
I got him quite by accident, Harold.
I was supposed to get a dog that had been found wandering, with an out of date chip, when the original owners turned up at the last gasp.
I was so disappointed, so I was asked if I’d take the one I have now as a foster for a few weeks.
Turns out I’m a lousy foster parent.
5
Going back to the previous nom Harold, you mentioned that you don’t have many generations of provable English lineage so, much like myself, you’re partially a johnny foreigner?
Good on you. I’m half Kraut.
I reckon you might be half Malaysian (for some reason).
4
Go back to Berlin you pair of Sauerkraut lickers
ACHTUNG!!!!!
6
Half Malaysian?
An interesting guess.
Why do I feel like there’s going to be some punchline here?
One Polish grandparent Thomas.
The other side of the family is very Anglo-Saxon and can be traced back to late 1400s
3
Ho ho, no punchline or ulterior motive, Harold.
I was just chuckling to myself at the thought of you being a partial oriental!
3
A bit like Dr No? 😁
Or the “Husband” of that Lauren Harries?
4
You Malaysian Polish should have to learn to speak English like the other immos.
Like Cuntengines grandad the Red Baron and JPs spanish dog.
4
Colleague at work got charged a thousand pounds just to see a vet on a Saturday recently.
Worst story I heard about a vet was a flat fire in Milton Keynes where a couple died in a flat fire and their dog was badly burned but still alive. The vet wouldn’t attend to put the dog out of its misery unless someone paid.
The attending fire crew paid for the cunt to show up and put a suffering animal out of its misery.
I know not all vents are money grabbing cunts but the majority definitely are.
11
That’s appalling, Six!
5
Someone in the pub got his dog bitten by an adder on the neck, a common place these snakes go for apparently. He pannicked as some people would, & called a vet straight away. “Do you have an account with us,” came the swift reply.
6
Vets are bound by oath or whatever it’s called to either make a animal comfortable or put to sleep in serious cases. Money or no money. Failing to do so can get them fined and/or struck off. Think I saw that info on the government website a while ago. It’s also been mentioned on one of the animals rescue programs.
6
I didn’t know that, Jill, but thanks for that!
1
Vets are pretty good value for money when it comes to Assisted Dying.
Fed up with this shitty world but can’t afford to go to Dignitas? Can’t face the bureaucracy and travel involved? Hate foreigners?
Simply self-identify as a dog or cat and get euthanised by your friendly local vet.
Save £££s!!!!!!!
If you’re lucky he/she might even be an indigenous white.
8
The Mafia whisper in awe of vetinary practices.
They have no competition
Name their own price or your dog/cat/hamster
The police should have a special unit
Vetinary and organised racketeering unit.
The heartless robbing bastards.
6
The first Mrs Twatt and I went to the Vets with our first dog when she was getting old and incontinent.
The thick cunt put the dog down when it was the wife I wanted euthanised.
7
Are there any independant vets left, that aren’t owned by corporations?
That’s why they’re so expensive.
When my woofer got his nuts off, he had to have an expensive ointment of some sort.
30 odd quid for a tiny little tube.
‘Are you taking the piss?’ my ex-wife says. ‘I’m a senior nurse and I know full well that cream is only a couple of quid under a different name in a pharmacy’.
Just for a moment, my miasma of loathing for her diminished a smidgeon.
8
She wishes it was you emasculated rather than the dog.
7
That would have been fine by then, MNC.
I wouldn’t have wanted to shag that fat, tattooed leviathan any more anyway.
If your dog scares the vet, do you get a price reduction? 🐶
9
Sadly not, an my vets scared to fuckin death of my dog.
Soft twat.
5
And she wouldn’t have given you any ointment relief either.
3
Or she would have told you it was ointment but in actual fact it contained vinegar.
4
Was she aware of your extra-curricular activities Thomas?
hee hee hee 😁
4
Nope, it was after the divorce that I was able to construct my love dungeon.
I thought about making her a guest, but it’s not a good idea…she’d go over the weight capacity of my cargo lift.
5
You’ll all be totally unsurprised to hear that he’s tested negative.
Dental booked in for the 30th, 🤞.
6
glad to hear that Jeezum🐕❣️
5
Anyone have Alan Yentob in Deadpool?
Doubt we will ever hear about what really happened with Kids Company now.
Camilla Batman likes jelly carked and was never held to account for her dodgy financial dealings. If anything she should at least have been done for cultural mis-appropriation.
8
They know you love ’em.
They know you’ll pay it.
It’s as simple as that.
7
Nail on head Norman.
Just the same as football fans, season tickets and obscenely overpriced replica shirts.
5
Dead right, Geordie.
But, I myself have decided to call time on my long love affair with Old Trafford.
After first going as a young boy in 1974, I have seen the great and the good. 1975-76, 1983-84, the first half of 1985-86, 1993-94 and 1998-99 were the best football I saw in the old place. Buchan, Hill, Pancho, Sammy Mac, Lou, Coppell, Robson, Whiteside, Muhren, McGrath, Hughes, Cantona, Kanchelskis, Ole, Ruud, Ronaldo and all them.
I also saw some shit. Some of the Sexton period, Jim Leighton, Colin Gibson and Ralphie Milne, and the post-Fergie shite. The worst being the Ten Hag and Frank Spencer Amorim years.
As a Newton Heath lad, and my dad and grandad as hardcore reds, it’s in the blood. However, I cannot endure the bastard shylock owners and I despise that old Steptoe cunt Ratcliffe. He will not be getting any of my money, the old bastard. Also, in my condition, I can’t be doing with the Glazers ripping the piss or Steptoe’s grasping. They can sod off.
And, paying 80 quid to watch that useless entitled shower of shit in a rotting and rusting stadium? I begrudge paying it. I now believe relegation is imminent in a season or two. Only, I will not be there to watch it a second time.
5
Brucellosis the newest money making scam.
Dogs been to the vets several times no issue.
Turn up they wouldn’t let us in, dogs came from Europe, might have Brucellosis.
It as bee ten years!! Well they might be carrying it!
Expensive blood tests…clear.
Fucking cunts, what if they catch it now? They can still go to the vets since they were tested and were clear at the time.
They must think non vets are fucking stupid.
4
You might pick up a couple of two legged ones, if you give the Isle of Dogs a visit.
5
Private GPs are an even bigger rip-off!
https://www.londondoctorsclinic.co.uk/prices/
We have an NHS for humans,
Why not for other animals?
5
They do Mingejuice Bottler,
Its called The PDSA. I mentioned it below.
2
A few years ago the vet told me my dog had to be put down. He did the deed and charged me £170. The robbing cunt.
4
I mentioned help in the last nomination of expensive vets. The PDSA can help, but you mustn’t have 2 ha’pennies to rub together and be on the poverty line. If you get in, you’re given a brown envelope to pay a few quid donation for bills that run into thousands.
4
I’m a big supporter of small charities, usually a couple of folk raising money for dog and cat rescues, for no reward other than a thank you.
Yet organisations like the RSPCA can afford custom build facilities and pay big bucks to their directors, and still beg for donations.
How’s that work?
6
It is called the RSPLC these days? I would not be supprised.
0
No fucking wonder the rescue centre’s are full. Who the fuck can afford a pet these days..!
Robbing big business cunts who are buying up all the vetinery’s…
7
I have never had a problem with vets.
They all seem to be attractive young girls here.
At least they seem young to me but I suppose that they must have done their full training.
They also work for free when dealing with abandoned dogs.
They give them the once over before directing you to the rescue centres.
The dog’s home which I support rarely pays for any treatment.
All dogs are either castrated or spayed free of charge.
Perhaps the vets in the UK are just taking the piss because of your love of animals.
5
This Brucellosis? Do points make prizes, or do you get nothing for a pair.
4
Not in this game!🤭

O/T, so it’s not Ukrainian rent boys that started fires at Starmski’s house, it’s Russian spies.
Oh fucking right, how bleeding thick do they think we are…!!
Someone out there, spill the beans on the 2TK cunt…!
5
And why are they protecting him by reporting this nonsense?
1
Now let’s see. Russia’s top spooks in London comprise 3 ballerina bum boys using petrol and matches who get arrested and charged within a few days of the crime.
Not exactly a Novichok assassination squad disappearing on the next plane to Moscow, are they?
The KGB are losing their touch. Putin will be livid.

I don’t know what that even means🤔

He means you running your tongue around the Generals balloon knot Jill.
Thomas is being cheeky!
We know you’re not that kinda girl.
Especially as the general struggles to wipe his arse properly.

Jill – Let’s just say you don’t want to perform it on someone with severe diahorroea.

BAD Thomas! 😡 Thanx for telling me lads😱
1
I hear the government are looking into these big vet companies and the prices they charge.
That should mean absolutely fuck all will change then.
They’ll probably come up with some regulating body called Ofvet, who will stop at nothing to ensure that Joe Public continues to get shafted.
3
I’ve seen the same, Field Marshall.
I don’t hold out any hope that anything will change, except possibly, a Watchdog ( no pun intended) to make sure pricing is consistent for procedures and medication.
All that will mean is some unregulated committee will unilaterally agree to put prices up by whatever the wholesalers charge + 5%.

The control vets have on animal drugs needs looking at too.
I know there’s a need for caution, but the bastards can control and charge what they like for something innocuous like effective flea treatments.
My mum had a cat with a heart issue. The drugs to control it cost £50 a month from the vet.
She spoke to our local friendly chemist who had the tablets in the shelf. “Just cut them in to quarters and he’ll be fine’”
And he was. For less than10 percent of what the vet was charging,
Robbing bastards!
2
My Youngers vet has told her that her greyhound can have a 500mg paracetamol ( for humans) 3 times a day for joint pain.
They’re about 29p for 16 from Poundland or Home Bargains.
My vet charged me £15 for 6 tablets of dog paracetamol!
4
Time to change vets, I think.
Youngers vet is near a large park, and people often come in with injured squirrels and such.
The vets always ( and immediately) see the animal and either make it comfortable pending transfer to a wildlife rescue, or euthanise it, no charge.
2
So they’re not all heartless bastards.
Changing to Youngers vet, after his dental.
2
Shame there’s not one of those Younges vets in my town J.P. I have a couple of apes that live near me, I could quite happily have put down, & free of charge would have been a bonus.
1
Now, now mi’Lord.
You must love your fellow man ( and euthanise rampant apes).

Is Paracetamol Safe for Dogs
Paracetamol is generally not safe for dogs without veterinary supervision. It can be highly toxic to dogs, even in small amounts, and can cause severe liver damage or problems with their red blood cells.
2
Yes, Jill.
I did all that research too. It very much depends on on the weight of the dog.
Bram weighs 5.4k, cutting a 500mg paracetamol down for him is impossible.
If your dog weighs as much as a toddler, say 15 – 20k, or over, you most certainly can give human paracetamol to a dog, as my Youngers vet has confirmed.
1
paracetamol and Ibuprofen can be fatal for dogs and cats. only low dosage of aspirin is ok and only with vet supervision.
1
Says the Vetinary Society.
Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they?
0
I wouldn’t give any dog aspirin.
If they have internal bleeding it could be fatal. Aspirin encourages blood flow by thinning the blood, to make it flow more easily. My partner used to take aspirin as a blood thinner.
0
Paracetamol and ibuprofen can be fatal for humans, too.
1
So its not safe?
Ive always refrained from giving my dog paracetamol as id hear one person say its safe
Another its not,
So erred on the side of caution.
Fuckin vets chisel you at every turn.
1
Mis, it depends on how much the dog weighs.
If they’re a tiny thing, then no. It’s impossible to calculate how much to give them.
I’d guess Freya is over 25k, giving her a child’s dose of paracetamol should be OK. To say that pain relief for dogs is more carefully researched than that of pain relief for humans is both ludicrous and unbelievable.
How the fuck would a dog fill in a questionnaire, even assuming it consented to take part in a drug trial?
2
Shes about 8stone id guess JP,
Id been told different things off different people.
If she needs pain releif id take her the vets then research whatever he prescribed.
They havent got the integrity to tell people that they can get the same product over the counter so ill ask them.
1
I absolutely would not want anyone to home medicate their dog, if they are uncomfortable with the idea.
Youngers vet specialises in the treatment of sight hounds. They are his love and passion. If he says Taylor can have human paracetamol, I’d trust him.
1
If you can’t afford em, don’t have them. Simple.
1
So Leo, instead of having the dog that stopped me going completely insane during Lock down, I should have him euthanise because of the cost for his dental?
You’ve absolutely missed the point of this nomination. It’s not about the pets, it’s about greedy arsehole who overcharge for meds for pets.
And! Invent new things your pet has to have a fucking test for!
You ought to have seen the state of his neck after the blood test, looked like someone had tapped into a neck vein using a fucking goose quill and a butter knife!
Vets! I’ve shat turds with more compassion!
