Onderstepoort Vet-high prices

Our Border collie pup , was injured while trying to squeeze through our palisade fence, leaving an open wound that needed stitching, we decided to go to Onderstepoort they informed us that we were there after hours, and it would be R1'000 admission fee. The gent at reception said he would ask the vet on duty if she would have a look at her. He returned shortly and let us know the vet would charge in the region if R4'000 to R5'000 to assist. We informed the gent at reception that it was very expensive and we would go elsewhere. After which we were told to sign a refusal of treatment form. The vet did not even see our pup. Just goes to show how its all about the money now days and less about treating the patient. Disgusted!
