Believe it or not your vet needs to BUY A SECOND BOAT & SEND ALL CHILDREN TO PRIVATE SCHOOL & TAKE REGULAR TRIPS TO EUROPE AND THE CARIBBEAN BECAUSE THEY ‘DESERVE IT’ make a living. Believe it or not but the standard of care for pets is getting higher everyday....because owners demand it. Believe it or not, if the appropriate next step (tests, labs, etc....) are not suggested by a veterinarian, the vet can be found guilty of malpractice.

No one spends your money without your approval. Yes, tests are suggested that come back normal. Normal results does not mean a failure to do what is appropriate. It means that several conditions have been ruled out. Normal tests sometime give as much information as abnormal results.

So, yes vet care can be expensive no question. But don’t blame the vet or the vet hospital.

Either clueless or a shill.

Fixed it for you.

And now if the emergency vets have been bought out by large corporations (ca-Ching!) there is little opportunity to choose a more reasonable provider.

Uh, no. There’s no ‘malpractice’ for poor animal care. The most someone can be compensated is the amount required to buy a new pet which in most cases is $400. Including spay/neuter and vaccinations.
