Why don't vets want to doctor cattle any more?

[QUOTE="Vicky the vet, post: 124018, member: 1026"] Ok, listening to most of you I fully understand why there are few or no large animal vets out there. Just a few points from the vet's perspective. 1) You don't bother calling me until one of three things happens...either you've tried everything else you can think of and it didn't work, it's late and you want to go to bed, or it's dying. 2) You complain about the bill...constantly...and then are slow to pay... 3) your profits go up but when my expenses go up, I'm not allowed to charge more. When your profits drop, I'm expected to charge less. 4) You go searching for cheaper drugs, vaccines and free advice, then wonder why I'm not available all the time at your convenience. I have expenses and it would be nice to have a life as well. If it sounds like I'm crabby, look at it from my perspective. Why should I work 100 h a week to earn what a secretary earns and take the abuse? Just a thought from the other side... [/QUOTE]
