Coz yeah, people who talk about things they have no idea about like they're an expert is such a pain isn't it?
We've been extremely blessed in our vet. Not only is he willing to do anything and everything to help our animals, he's more than reasonable about fees and understands when people need to take time to pay things off. That being said, even if we didn't have him I'm sure there are other vets who would would be understanding about paying on account when you don't have the cash up front.

I so glad your 'lucky' enough to have good vet access.I wasnt that lucky and even refused by another vet in my area to see snakes at all.Beleive it or not, it wasnt money, it wasnt neglect, or any other situation where I had a choice,and thats why I was so dissapointed when people only wanted to know "why' i couldnt get to Vet, rather than help while i was waiting.
In a perfect world, we wouldnt need forums, nor would there be delays in treatment of sick snakes.And having said that, I live only a few kilometres from Hunter valley Zoo(old Rusa Park), and after being closed on wednesday, i got to take daisy there, once again, told come back tomorrow, when the snake vet was there.
Sorry that my post offended so many people , though I stand by validaty of my situation, as being nothing but bad luck , at the time.Nows shes getting treatment.
Still not sure is she will make it, though Ive done all i can now.
Kind Regards Heather

hahaha. great idea
I belive most people would normally have the finance to take care of any pet they have, but hey, I do see a fair bit more :neglect" if you will, in this economic climate. Non of us would have predicted that economi would fall apart like it has. Yeah sure if you are not in retail or tourism you may not feel the pressure, but for some of us, who normally live a GOOD life moneywise, have felt it hit hard the last couple of years. If you have the funds when you get your pet, things can drastically change in a couple of years. You may get sick, get sick kids or just have some bad luck with cut downs at work and so forth. So please dont judge peoples intentions befor you know their story
Just to clarify, I personaly still can afford my pets.......and the kids .....even the hubby, altough he cops it with less than the rest of us:lol:

Im not making excuses though Im not used to this forum, and that was my first post.
It was very frustrating, and im sorry,.Next time i have an urgent matter, i neeed to know about, I will try and communicate better.
Daisy still isnt out of the woods, she has lots of air in her throat, and air bumps from the emphasemia.thinking of getting VITAMIN INJECTION FOR HER if anyone can referr the name , for vitamin, whats best for snake, thankyou
Baytril injections and good heat,and a betadine bath now and then.Now its just a case of waiting.I may take up to 6 months for a recovery, and Im also aware that she may not make it.Im prepared for the worst.
Unlike the other day,(I had rang soo many people, called upon everyone i knew,drove her around trying to get someone to see her, -I was almost having a nervous breakdown by the time posted the thread.
Ive been told that my constant doting and worrying, will not be helping her either.Its hard for me to not look at her in her tank, but ive covered it nice dark and warm for her.
Most of the time, I just look at her, and just to see how beautiful she is.She has the best nature and i love this animal,- once again, Im sorry that my worries were interpretted as neglect. Kind Regards Heather
Yes, it was a mistake to get so emotional about things, yet I would have to say, the last week has been terrible for me.

this is an interesting thread
although its gone a bit wonky
we recently took our stimmie to the vet [ previously called --emotional blackmailers for many reasons ]
[ not this vet ] got him fixed all good .in conversation the vet said she was happy we brought him in so soon after noticing the problem -- as many herp folk tend to hang on for a while before seeing a vet . its like a bad dentist -- they put you off a bit but when its a living animal they suffer just like you -- and eventually you go and see the vet /dentist
hahahaha
if anybody in sydney needs a good reference for a herp vet pm me [ no i dont think its correct to post the vets name or address]
yes ok i will go to the dentist!
opps didnt answer the ? wasnt very much soo it came out of the kids xmas jar!

"Touch wood" but after all these years in keeping herps, I have only needed the Vet twice, both respiratory issues with blackheads from newly purchased animals. The Vet gave me the drugs to inject and after the course happy days...
I make sure that all my animals are given top quality food and housing which obviously includes the correct parameters for the specie. If you follow these mandatory rules, i'msure the Vet will be only needed in unforeseen circumstances.
In saying that, we all must "at a minimum" know where our local Herp Vet is located in case of that unforeseen emergency!
Cheers....

So these people that say its irresponsible to not be in the position to pay vet bill.
What happens if cannot work any more for any reason would you then do the so-called responsible thing and give away ur precious pets, i doubt it
Just because some people have the blessing of financial security does not giv them the right to judge people that dont, as everyone knows times are hard and this aint a perfect world
Having said this im currently an unemployed student with a son and i just yesterday forked out $ for my beardys vet visit
Plenty of people have to put down their beloved animal family members due to lack off funds for vet bills
this does not make them bad pet owners, just means that some people dont have unlimited resources nad keeping a roof over their head comes first

To much human emotion attached to animals. Provide the best care poss within reason when it comes to vet bills you need to think with ya head not ya heart if ya can,t afford day to day costs then you shouldn't have the animals. I am sure everyone starts out with best intentions but you can't always predict hard times. Even in good times I'm not gunna fork out much more than the replacement value of the animal I'll give it the best care poss from home and let nature take it's course.

azn4114,
How many thousands of dollars do you currently have put aside (per animal) for vet treatment?
Personally, im not the slightest bit ashamed to admit i don't have spare money lying around
365 days a year... not only would there be days and weeks when i don't have spare cash
but also times when commitments would prevent me from getting to a vet clinic for a few days
but thats life.. i don't feel guilty for it.

i money aside but not specifically as vet money. if i didnt have any money in the bank then i have no doubt that if the need arised i could find/borrow money, or just use my credit card as i think most people could do.
id be interested to know how many vets have corn snakes bought in for treatment, it seem 50% of the people that own that dont have the slightest idea that there not native hahah. although i guess not know what they own makes them irresponsible to begin with and knowing what them own but not caring does also....
