[QUOTE="fourwinds, post: 201847, member: 3274"] I sure can't blame the vets for the time and money issue but it difficult for large animal owners. No excuse for the vet refusing however...if they are part of a multi clinic service then they should service clients of other clinics same as their own on their days to cover. In my area I have a vet who will do a farm call when it fits his schedule and only charges $20. I have used him for simple horse stuff and found him competent. Really more of a cow guy. Other vet charges $75 for a farm call and the other one charges $55. To a certain extent it isn't worth my time, fuel and risk of transport to haul a horse/ cow to the vet for the $55. Esp considering what illness the animal might be exposed to while at the clinic. To get to that vet service I have to haul over 30 miles each way.... All of the large animal vets in my area are getting up in years...very concerned about what will happen when they retire. Michelle [/QUOTE]
