What bringing your pet to the vet feel like.
Vet: I'm sorry I have to break this to you. You have too much money in your bank account. We're gonna need to go in and remove it completely.
Dicky: Oh God what ?
I’m always amazed when people complain about the price of veterinary medicine. A doctor only needs to study one species – human. Yet a vet has to take care of a variety of animals. The vet also has to be a surgeon and a dentist. And the vet has to treat animals who cannot communicate with the vet at all; there are translators for human patients. I’m guessing the percentage of veterinarians who have been scratched or bitten is far more than docs for humans. Likewise, being urinated on. You think it’s easy to deal with euthanasia on a regular basis when the owners are devastated? They deserve to be fairly compensated for all they do.
