I took my Jack Russell in to Silverfields Veterinary Clinic as she seemed quite bloated around her abdominal area. The vet took a blood sample (R194) later and said that she has an internal infection and that my JR will need to stay overnight and it will only cost R80 for the night, so I thought ok that isn't so bad. Next minute I get to the reception counter and the woman says R1000 deposit pls..... ? I asked what for and she said the x ray. Ouch ? I was told to contact them this Morning at 9am to check in on how the JR is doing and she was doing fine after passing a piece of plastic that she had eaten? so I proceeded to ask if there was any further costs involved and to my disgusted surprise yes sir another R1180 over above the R1000 already paid. I cannot understand how the x ray for a tiny dog can cost R910 and just over a month ago I myself went for a x ray in a private hospital on my leg and only cost R460. This is a rip off and think that these Veterinary clinics need to be investigated. I am so furious and they don't even offer a payment plan. I must add that all of a sudden her snout looks swollen aswell and was given no explanation as to why that is. Attached a foto...
