hi, i was just wandering if the vet charges you for a prescription , or telling you how to do something, eg. budgie wing clipping, etc...? thanks :)
I work at a vet clinic, and here is what we would charge in this case...
Usually, vet's have their medicines on hand, this means that you would be getting the prescription from us. The doctor would tell the tech, or nurse, to fill out a prescription, we would give it to you, then you would go to the front desk to pay.
If you want advice, then you would pay for the examination. If you ask a vet to tell you how to clip your budgies wings, you would pay for the examination and the wing clip, which the vet would do in order to show you.
Or, if it's advice that you can get over the phone, then you wouldn't have to pay. I'm not sure if it would be possible for someone to properly tell you how to clip your birds wings over the phone, or if the vet would do that without having you come in, but you could try.
So, basically, if you bring your animal in, you pay for the examination (our clinic charges $35 for an exam) and you pay for any services that your vet does for your animal. If you don't bring the animal in, you only pay for what you bring home from the vet, like some kind of medicine.

thanks, its always good to get advice from a person who has gone through it, or actually does it, if you get me. :)
