[QUOTE="sackshowcattle, post: 986288, member: 4065"] I have one vet at my clinic that I request hes good at what he does. The rest I have no use for. They just got a new vet and she is the down fall of the clinic. She convinced them to bump the farm call charge to almost double and put a 10 mile radius on it and charge almost 4 bucks a mile on top of the farm call charge over that. So cost is part of it for me. I had an older cow partial prolapse. She told us to get it back in as soon as possible to prevent damage and becoming a full prolapse. Not a problem. The cow was cleaned and put back together by the time she got there and ready for stitches. she was there for 10 minutes gave 2 shots and one stitch 300 dollar bill. looked at the bill 150 just to come the 23 miles and the rest of it was for being charged for 2 full bottles of meds that were partially used and she took with to use again. I think that was what stung the worst. Knowing this vet has the nerve to charge multiple clients for full bottles of meds that came out of the same bottle. This vet also wanted me to take a first time heifer to the clinic for a c section. I decided to give it an hour and it was just I caught her a little earlier in the labor process than I thought she was and had it on her own. I'm not saying there aren't plenty of great vets out there worth every penny, but the few that are quick to want to do major surgery or over charge for what they actually use and do are ruining it for all vets.
