The vet tried to upsell a consult \/ second opinion on a dying dog , he questioned any treatment she had received previously for her skin ( had been under a dermatologist specialist for most of her life ) and was 13 1\/2 years old German Shepherd and could hardly walk . It took us a few weeks to convince our auntie that it was time to let her go , the hole was dug at our property and my husband was present at the euthanasia . The vet was out of order to question the decision . The vet was on time but tried to get a hind leg vein and failed and then tried and used the Cephalic vein successfully . The price was given over the phone but when we received a copy of the invoice was charged $50 extra for sedation that was never mentioned . The credit card details are given at the time of booking so the deduction is what ever they want to charge . If sedation was needed we would have happily paid but not to have it added on afterwards as we would not now ask our Auntie for more money . I am a retired vet nurse 35 years and practice manager of large Vet practices and there are better services available .Perth Southern suburbs."},"content":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esportsgram.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esportsgram.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esportsgram.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esportsgram.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esportsgram.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1093"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.esportsgram.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1093\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1094,"href":"https:\/\/www.esportsgram.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1093\/revisions\/1094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esportsgram.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esportsgram.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esportsgram.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
