Then what is it? |
Maybe your math skills are poor. 1100 dollars total between the two visits. |
I can’t take the day off. And to say that I shouldn’t send my husband bc they know they can take advantage of him is proving my point. |
No, it's not proving your point. Do you take the first price suggested by the car dealer? Do you always do everything that random people ask you to do? All your husband had to do was say no. Patients and consumers everywhere are expected to use their brain when discussing services. If your husband is too stupid to do this, YOU have to do this. If you can't take time off to look after a sick pet, you should NOT have a pet in the first place!!! Your arguments are entirely unreasonable. |
Oh it’s crazy pet thread poster. Sigh. I think you need to jump to the pit bull thread |
Pretty sure the crazy poster here is you. DP |
PP you replied to. Excuse me? I think the shoe is on the other foot here ![]() I foster pregnant dogs and their puppies for a rescue - lots of pit mixes in there. Since I get them from birth, I find them docile and easily trainable. But no, I don't defend or attack any dog breed on DCUM threads. You're so weird, OP. |
You’re so exhausting when you jump onto a thread. Unhinged, all caps, endlessly argumentative, blah blah. Plus you use emojis like a teenager. Yes, we know you love pitts and they get a bad rap, amirite? It’s an owner issue, not a breed issue, right? |
I know vets are scammers, they try to make money off of teeth cleaning and prescription food etc….and charge TOO MUCH for routine care. They do tests that don’t need to be done. The honest moral vets are so full they aren’t taking patients. We need more low budget low income vets. |
DP, but you're the clown who brought the anti-pit stupidity to yet another thread, so maybe log off, walk your dog, and get some fresh air for your last brain cell? You're a mess. |
Listen... This isn't what they're doing. So many of you "pet parents" don't know when it's time to let go. You want the vets to do everything they can to save your "furbaby"... and you want it to be cheap. It's completely unreasonable! If you're a "do everything you can" kind of pet owner, you should've bought some pet insurance to help you handle the costs of the advanced testing, diagnostics and procedures. If you didn't, or couldn't afford it, well, you get palliative care and a good death via humane euthanasia. Personally? The latter is fine. Your pet doesn't want complicated surgery, extended healing times, and a dramatically-reduced standard of living just so it can stay around to deal with your refusal to go to therapy and deal with your problems. None of this means that vets are "scammers". Yeah, there are unethical ones, and bad practices, and the corporate buyouts didn't help increase satisfaction from the clients/patients/buyers, but that's literally every industry everywhere. It's no different here, and certainly no worse. I don't like whitecoats and kinda resent being put in the position to defend them as a class, but y'all are off the rails in this thread... |
I actually finally found a good vet—and it was through a recommendation on this forum! They do exist but maybe ask other pet owners in your area. |
PP you replied to. I've never thought that, or typed that ![]() You're a few fries short of a Happy Meal, it looks like. |
Leaving a 15:year old cat in pain while its teeth decay is cruel. They are very stoic. |
I went through similar situations with my cat who had myocardia (?). I went to a horrible vet who constantly pushed invasive stuff and finally quit her when based on bad blood tests told me my cat was in imminent danger of dying, talked me into leaving work in dc, drving to suburban Virginia to get my cat and driving to some special vet in Bethesda all to find out the blood work was wrong. When he was finally failing, she insisted I take him again for a very expensive invasive ekg or something that would require him being kept for a few days, I balked. I went to a different vet who diagnosed cancer. My cat got to live 6 months or so longer with some peace. |
