Took my cat to this Vet he examined him gave him an injection cost £30 plus told me bring him back in a week if he was no better, the Vet said he would do tests on him about £100. The cat got worse over the weekend so I decided to take him to another Vet, he examined the cat and said" This cat is barely alive, he is dying of Leukemia he asked me to feel the cat`s kidneys which where the size of a large egg ! The cat was putdown. RIP mate. I don`t think the £100 tests would have saved the Cat or is that me being cynical ?

I wonder if it would be possible to arrange a discount for Wikiwirral members? Not just at these vets but other things such as Garages,plumbing,decorating etc.I'm sorry if this has been suggested before or is even in existence.

Ive only visited this practice once with someone elses dog who was staying with me (their normal practice) and found Matt Pope to be both approachable and efficient, and not pushy to do 'extras' on this animal that I knew some vets would have been keen to do, to bump the bill up.
As for a Wiki members discount -- lovely idea, but I think there are few vets who actually NEED to find more clients. A lot of them seem so busy they can hardly cope as it is , so they have no need to offer deals to anyone .

Absolutley Fuming, poor Alfie now has kennel cough due to being made to wait for over an hour in this hole of a vets, I have spoken to the Kennels where we bought him from and they were disgusted with the treatment he had recieved.
We kept him him for two weeks away from other dogs so he didn't catch anything and then he catches this at the vet's, who should know better than to have mixed ages of dogs in the same room for so long.
FUMING

hi, redlance only just spotted this .I,m glad you got some posi tive reaction from the vet,s. Hope alfie get's on ok, he is a lovely pup! Small world really, i'm a newbee on wiki as well.

red lance my comment's were in responce to the early post regrading your phone call ect...... just saw last post .....poor alfie!

Who is this Matt Pope? Never heard of him. I have never known a vet. to be so well known? Is he a kind of celebrity vet?

He comes across as some kind of Dr Doolittle?!

(and i don't mean that 'funny')

Hi yes it is a small world
Alfie on anti-biotics now should be ok in a week thanks.
Was your dog the cute labrador?

Redlance you may find childrens Benylin for chesty coughs might help with the cough, sounds daft but I was recommended this by a rescue years ago for mine when they got it.

Thanks Tedmus we were recommended this as well and he loves it so hopefully he will be better sooner rather than later, thanks for the advice though

hi redlance,glad to hear alfie will be ok by next week, our sally was the yapper .red terrier x, when i was paying the bill,went quiet when we spoke, you made abig fuss of her and i stroked alfie. Have you read the thread about the poor dog that has died from poisoning in new brighton,awful.

Hi yes sounds terrible the poor little mite.
I remember Sally very cute.
