Yes people should be warned if there is a consultation fee. I know of a situation where there had never been a phone consultation fee, and a child talked to a vet concerning their 4-H lamb which was in bad shape ( it did live due to serious care) Nothing was ever said, but when the parent went to buy medicines they were informed they owed $40 for a phone consultation fee.
It was paid, but with a firm note that when a child was spoken to, and a fee was going to be charged, the parent or guardian should have been informed first before the vet spoke to the child,- remember there had never been fees before this time so it was totally unexpected..
