[QUOTE="Alan, post: 448021, member: 378"] This is a good thread on Vets. In my eyes, an accurate thread on Vets. Vets do make a lot more money on Fluffy then they do on cows. Plus, as someone stated eariler on, I think most cattle folk can't justify spending $1000 to save a calf they will sell down the road for $500. I think the bovine industry still complains more about vet cost than equine or small animal..... that is a headache for a Vet. Also a Vet has never lost a day of work from being kicked by fluffy the dog. The problem with having a lesser degree for a PA is the PA would still have to write or sell prescription drugs and may need to have a DEA license for controled drugs. I don't see the Vet indrustry allowing this to happen. Vets spend 8 years to get out on their own as a Vet and 6 figures for the education, I think they would fight a PA system hard, this on top of going through the FDA and DEA. In addition a PA would not be able to preform any type of surgery above cutting off a wart. PA's would have to work for a licensed Vet and make enough $ for their salary plus expenses,plus enough profit to justify the PA. JMO, Alan [/QUOTE]
