[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is bananas.[b] OP is relaying a scary experience that we should all be aware of as pet owners in the area. [/b]Yes, a lot of us adopted pets during the pandemic. My dog was living under a truck... is it better if we don't give dogs loving homes because it's hard to find veterinary care? I'm sorry this happened to you, OP, and I hope your dog is doing ok.[/quote]

No, Op is pretty explicitly criticizing the vets that couldn't care for her pet, and multiple people are explaining why her criticisms are unfounded.  [/quote]

Look, the criticism is fair and not fair. The profession needs to fix things. This is not sustainable OR fair (to the existing vets or to the families needing care for their animals).

It's the same with doctors, dentists, etc. When you need to be seen or your child needs to be seen, you are desperate. Even understanding what is happening in the profession, it is still maddening and upsetting and sad and scary. People are probably "lashing out" but it's not b/c they don't like the vets. They want them. They NEED them. Instead of being a jerk and judging OP, maybe understand that the situation is stressful.

Like I said, until you're at the emergency vet with an animal bleeding out of her mouth, and being turned away, you may not understand how stressed and fearful you can be on behalf of your animal who, just a year ago, would have gotten in right away.[/quote]
