[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1690574, member: 39347"] There is only one species of human. Research and development of new drugs and techniques costs money. As you alluded to, many people aren’t willing to go to the expense required to “save at all costs”, animals have a price point at which it becomes beyond the budget to treat. People can get insurance that covers the cost of medical treatment. An animal has to have an economic value for the veterinary research to be done. Pets and high value livestock get the treatments and research. as in human medicine, your vet can’t care more than you about correct treatment. There are “bad” vets just as there are good. They have to have something to work with though. If they have nothing to help them with the animal’s recovery (animal illness causes, management styles), they can’t do much. Especially if the owner gripes about a farm call fee when their animal has been down for a week already 🤨 [/QUOTE]
