[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 542827, member: 5106"] Our main vet clinic with the "main man" whom I trust 100% is two hours away. We have used him and his clinics for a vet with the dairy and continued when we started up here. If we just started up and went looking for a vet it would be probably hard to get the service that we do. Being good friends with Dr.U we have many conversations about how L.A. practices have changed and that not too many people want to go into it and it is frustrating for them as well because they cannot find help. They pay their dues and then move on to "poodles" or worse just horses where they can price gouge and make their fortune. Angie I haven't had a vet bill for $40.00 since I bought a half bag of milk replacer. ;-) The special rate we get charged is $120.00 for mileage and the call; but the funny thing is that, the clinic in the city closest to us (20 minute drive to their door or ours)charges $140.00 for a visit and call ,they prefer that you bring the animal to them as well. :roll: I have found more and more on the board new people asking/begging for help because they can not get a vet to help them .I fear this will get worse before it gets better unless incentives are given to vets to go into L.A. That is why it is so great that you have a vet that is their for you and answers all of your questions and then you can come here and share with everyone who does not have access to that. That is why I love this board and why I try myself to help if at all possible. [/QUOTE]
