How wonderful that your puppy pulled through after being admitted and what a nerve wracking time for you. That’s a great testament to post about this vet practice.

How grim. You need to call Environmental Health to report plus tell the shop.

What are opinions of the Hong Hong Chinese restaurant in Grove Vale which is takeaway only?

Yes, I need to phone the GP office as they were the ones who referred me. Will also phone Guy’s Hospital where I am supposed to attend.

I tried a new to me place for a delivery last night, I placed an order on the phone for a delivery and offered to pay with my card then and there. This was because their website wasn’t working for delivery. Was told they would send a machine with the delivery driver and was then asked by the driver if I wanted to add a tip. I was already paying more than I would have for cash. Is asking for a tip common practice now? Offering 10% off orders for cash seems to be common now. It’s even advertised on the websites with some places. It was not Khan’s. They offer 10% discount for orders over £25 and you don’t need cash. I will try them next. It was not 2 Sisters. They offer a discount for cash too.

Why can’t you report it to your insurance company in the meantime?

I just heard a radio commercial for Boots and it said they would deliver prescriptions to a patient’s home.

I was referring to both Khan’s and Millennium!

Thanks for posting that. I had no idea they had/have physiotherapy (nor the Foot Health place) there. I was offered an appointment at either Guy’s or at a place in Brixton. I know that the old Dulwich hospital had physiotherapy before they closed.

Thanks. I never have cash on me.

2 Sisters told me that they give a discount on the website prices if you pay cash on delivery. Does Millenium do their own deliveries? Do they do their own deliveries?

Are there any Chinese restaurants who do their own deliveries?

Good for you and it’s incredible that you got an appt for the same day.

Where is this?

I called them and they said they don’t have a delivery driver and to use Deliveroo. Could not find them there. Odd.

Thanks for the comment. There are some online reviews from people who ate in and they were all good.

I’ve just noticed the Tofu East Asian Canteen in Forest Hill. Anyone tried it?

It’s quite far from the shops.

Your dog does not need more jabs. No boosters are needed, despite what the vet says. It’s solely to make money. The Lepto jabs are especially dangerous. Would never give any Lepto vax now. Vets now also want to give kennel cough jabs which are also unnecessary. There are too many strains to vaccinate against. Medivet used to offer titre tests to show immunity for around £50 but now charge over well over£200 as they realised that they would lose income from the annual booster scam when tutting shows lifelong immunity. Some dogs are non responders and so no matter how many times they are jabbed, they will never respond. Cats don’t need annual jabs either. Many vet nurses I’ve spoken to give the kitten vaccinations and then no more. Look out for the Complete Book of Cat And Dog Health by holistic veterinarian Lise Hansen. She has clinics in Denmark and London. She is also qualified in alternative treatments.

What are they able to do? Did you complain to the practice manager? Are you still registered there?

Are the prices similar to the £165 quoted above for a Saturday afternoon? Would be interested to know what a late night charge would be. I presume that TNV advise that emergencies go to Camberwell unless they advise the emergency vet in Beckenham - if it’s still there. I have used that one and also the vet in Elizabeth Street in Victoria for emergencies.

Has anyone tried the 24 hour Medivet in Kenbury Street, Camberwell? Was previously a non chain called The Animal Hospital and owned by a vet called David Cuffe who had a branch in Abbeville Road in Clapham. Don’t know if he still works there. Medivet has also taken over the Clapham branch.

Have you had any replies?

Today, 22 February 2024, before 8 am, there was a notification on the Tessa Jowell GP Surgery website that the askmygp system was closed as there weren’t any appointments available for today. I thought they only opened at 8 am. Said it would open at 8 am the following day.

That’s shocking. You should ask for a refund.
