[QUOTE="Alan, post: 60641, member: 378"] This my ruffle some feathers (I don't think it will ruffle your feathers Vicki). People seem to forget that Vets go to school for eight years and are Doctors. They must to have working equipment, that isn't cheap, dependable trucks and carry enough supplies to try to meet everyone's needs. They can't afford to care if someone can't afford it or feel they are to expensive. They not only have a business to keep a float they have an investment in their lives, ie; educated cost, start up cost, continuing education, insurance of all kinds, equiptment repair and replacement. My Vet charges $125 and hour for her time and 33.50 an exam, oh yea, she quit doing large animals because it's hard to make money while your driving, and she has always been able to walk away when a poodle kicked her. I believe she loves animals as much as anyone I have ever met, but she knows she must make money to continue doing what she is doing. I once paid $500 for a lawyer to review a contract for me and he told me nothing I didn't know, but it was good to have that professional opinion. I'll get off my soap box early, but $90 and hour is too cheap, so is $25 a call unless it's only 10 minutes (not miles) away. Call a Vet if you need to but don't complain he/she is too expensive, they paid their dues to get to where they are. If you don't like them find a new Vet. Hold them accountable for their actions and get a understandable answer from them, they expect that, but they don't expect to give it away for free, they paid big bucks to gain the knowledge some think should be free. Just my opinion Alan [/QUOTE]
