Hmm...well then I guess it's up to us as pet owners to seek a vet who has made the decision to educate themselves on that subject, heh? They are out there, you just have to find one. Plus, you can't assume that every future vet is learning the exact same topics and that it doesn't extend beyond only what is 'required.' I guess I benefit from only being 1 1/2 hrs from on of the best verterinary institutes in the country. Many of the vets here do continuing research through the university and are in fact, well educated in many 'above and beyond' areas.
Like I said, maybe it's time to find a new vet if you feel their top concern is their pocket.
