what have you all paid for your scans ??????   my vet now charges  £40.. so i rang another one £46. wondered what you all paid, a friend in scarborough had two done for £30     :(

i paid £25. and was offered a free one the following week.

Having one Friday - will let you know. Last one, two years ago, different vet, different area was £25

I think its £12.00 here, not a vet though.
Dawn.

around her its £10 but its not a vet, its a ladie that has one at home

Vet here (greater London) was charging 54.00 for scan + extra for sedation. Dont know what the sedation cost though because decided not to have it done.

I paid about £16, as nothing showed, I was allowed to go back a week later free of charge.

£54      its making mine look cheap.

Farmer who has his own scanner and spent years in NZ scanning sheep takes £15 - very reasonable and has so far been 100% accurate with all the people that use him in my area...No clipping of the heavier coated breeds either.
My vet took I think about £20+VAT the last time they scanned for me...

any farmers or do it yourselves in northumberland then ??????

Sorry Dizzy!! You'll have to 'hoof' it up the road to Stirling!! Wonder how many farmers there are though that scan - Archie doesn't advertise, he's very much word of mouth but seems to have a steady stream of clients that come down from the Aberdeen area too which is a 5/6 hour round trip - app he can tell if the bitch is re-absorbing etc....quite fascinating!!

  think im just going to wait and see------she  looks like she is, and as shes 5 weeks next sunday i shouldnt be too long in knowing for sure, --£40 is a lot  when so many of you are paying so much less,

We only paid £12 for a scan,but that wasn't conclusive and had her x-rayed to make sure and sure enough we saw another 2 pups,Sandra.

Hi Dizzy,  Jackie Molyneux at Consett charges about £22.  Dont know if that is too far to travel for you.  I did a ring around of North East Vets a few years ago for scans, as my own Vet does not do them.  Jackie came out cheapest, Ayres quoted over £70 and Blythmans said they had never scanned a bitch, but would charge the same as for a horse, it would be in excess of £80!

gwen, have you the phone number please-----is this the vets that you drive through country lanes up hill too-then shes on the left just after crossroads. ????

Hi Dizzy,  yes thats the one.  According to a firend it has now gon up to about £30.  Phone no. is 01202 590340.  Good Luck with the results (ah, baby Wrinklies :))

Hi gain Dizzy, sorry I am a lousy typist (and havent been to bed for 3 weeks to to the pug babes) didnt seem I had made an error until too late to change.  The code should be 01207
bye
Gwen

gwen ---your near enough----if you want to come and have a squidge of the pups [providing there is some] your more than welcome  :)

Hi  I was quoted 97.50p!! 3 weeks ago, but didn't bother, she is pregnant so it's best to wait :)

Paid £39 this morning at the vets. (Lincs)

Hello,

My vet has quoted £30.00 to scan my bitch who will be going next Friday (5 weeks)
Sedation hasn't been mentioned, but is this routine??

My bitch gets quite excitable at the vets (she treats him, along with all other complete strangers as life long friends! :-) )

Is is a quick procedure, I'm guessing they'll do it while she's standing??

Thanks
J

ive nevere ever been offered, or needed sedation for any of mine-i think because theyre shown they tend to stand there when asked !!!   they might wonder whats going on if i lie them down------but soon get over it    :D

When I've had bitches scanned, they were required to stand up - so sedation would be a disaster!
:)

She shouldn't need to be sedated, I scan bitches every week, as part of my job & have never sedated one. (or even contemplated it)
She should be standing for her scan.
:)

£22....standing up or sometimes lying down....but def. no sed!
Dizzy, on another topic slightly....do you think an 18 week old sharpei pup would cope with a bounding  8 stone 13 month old bloodhound pup?

it would depend on the bloodhound---id be a bit worried though, ---why>????????   your not are you   :D

no......just an enquiry from someone who has the sharpei & is interested in rehoming a hound. Think it s a no-no though!

i think it would work out providing the owners are sensible about it, not letting them tear around etc until the pei is grown------some would manage it great. -----do you know them at all?????

not really Dizzy. They contacted me in the sumer re: having a hound but I couldnt help them. I replied last week to say there was a puppy available but they had gone & got a sharpei instead. Seems to me they were more interested in the wrinkle than the dog itself?? so decided not to pursue the matter but they rang again to say they were still interested. Personally I think its no-go, but maybe if I meet them I will change my mind. We'll see.
