I posted previously asking if anyone knew of a scanner in my area. Thank you to the person who advised me of a scanner in Somerset. I rang a vet in my area to book in for a scan, and was told that the vet would like to talk to me firstly. Ok i agreed of course to that, but was then told that if i asked too many in depth questions, whilst having the scan, then i would be charged an extra consultation fee on top of the scanning fee! Is this the norm?  Lost abit of faith, so looking for a lovely person to scan my beautiful mum to be.

Actually, that vet may well be doing you a favour, I get charged £30 for just walking through the door, I never get the consultation fee wavered at all. :-(

I'd jump on the chance to just have the scanning fee only and happily keep my mouth shut for a vet to just tell me positioning etc all look good and only talk about the scan. He's saving you money IMO not many vets doing that today. :-)

Lady I use in Somerset charges £30/35  for a scan and is spot on with numbers :-)

the scannerat the vets use by bristol is very gd he charged £30 for the scan witch was excellent he also answered all my questions and went into deapth with each pup seen he also did a video witch he posted on his vet group and was  very very happy to help no extra cost at all and this wasnt my own normal vet as my vets dont have a scaner so went to see this one recommended and i was a very happy dog owner if i ever have problems with our vets i will happily change to this one and traveller the extra to see him xx

I'm not sure it's greedy - I expect they are simply warning you that it's a timed appointment and if you run over then that incurs an additional fee.

Which Vets did you use as I am in Bristol.  haven't scanned the last few times as hubby says the scan won't make them pregnant, but I am not the most patient and with a large waiting list would prefer to know sooner than later, as if it;s a negative prefer to disappoint people sooner and try to get them on another list.

hi brainless i used the one in emersons green hes lovley vet and didnt mind taking his time to make surei knew every part of each puppy x

That's near me, so what is the practice name?
