We were on a week's break down in my partner's birth place in West Mersea. We took our dogs out for a walk in East Mersea when one of our dogs was viciously attacked by another dog...to cut along story short, we rushed out very injured dog to Blackwater vets who, after assessing Miellas injuries, said A:that she might not make it, and B: that her right leg had the muscles torn from the shoulder and may need specialist surgery in Newmarket as and that could cost £6000! But then said that they might have to amputate. As you can imagine, myself and my partner were absolutely devastated...but we were going back to Bristol the following day and made sure she was going to be ok to travel..in the meantime, this 'so called' vet, charged us £1600 up front!! Evan though we are covered by insurance...we travelled back to Bristol and took her straight to our own vets....2 days later, Miellas is back home with us and walking fine... albeit still a bit sore...Evan our own vets couldn't understand why Blackwater vets charged us what she did and why she asked us to pay upfront....our own vets in Bristol also said that what we had been charged doesn't match up for what she had done...Stay well clear of this vet practice...the main owner (Orla), who is Polish, is just a money grabbing sharlaton....she caused my partner and I additional stress and upset that was completely unnecessary
