[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1251237, member: 14713"] IMO, your best bet is to call the vets and inquire about house call charges before the need arises :idea: There are 2 veterinary practices most everyone uses "here". Either is a 80 mile round trip from my place in different directions. 3rd vet is 70 miles one way in another direction. Vets usually line up visits and prorate mileage charges among the places they visit that day for routine procedures such as Bangs vaccinations, spaying heifers, and preg checking. Makes the charge reasonable for everyone. Most vets bring along their own hydraulic chutes too. Unscheduled emergency "house calls" for calving/prolapse cases can get expensive with a full charge for mileage. My policy always is "quit while I'm ahead" if it looked like I couldn't pull a calf myself and needed a C-section. Same for prolapse cases I didn't think I could handle. IMO, for an emergency unscheduled individual patient, as long as the patient is ambulatory, it's ALWAYS cheaper for you to take the patient to the vet than have the vet come to the patient :2cents: [/QUOTE]
