[QUOTE="angie1, post: 425038, member: 3886"] I can't say a bad thing about our vets. They come as soon as they can whether its 2:00 pm or 3:00 am and are as prompt as they need to be. Last summer was our last year of raising bottle babies, was a [i]bad[/i] year. Had been working close with both vets, both were very helpful and bent over backwards to work us through the resp funk taking calves out like flies. Vet was out when I lost like the 5th or 6th one and I had a minor breakdown in the barn. He was very sympathetic and mailed me a sympathy card out that same day stating he appreciated how hard we workled to take good care of our animals and he was sorry about the situation. Also did this when I lost one of my goats. Meant a lot. One has commercial cattle herd. They are both great. Small animal vets not so great. They want to stick you for things you don't need (Would you like a monitoring system on your cat while we clean her teeth? I.V. fluids?) and imply that if you don't agree with what they think your animal needs that you don't really care about your animal anyhow. I think they guilt a lot of people into unnecessary procedures and tests. [/QUOTE]
