How can they get away with turning down these animals just because their owners aren't able to pay at the time. Why can't they work out payment plans? |
It is so unbelievable how so many vets are now just in it for the money. There was a vet close to where my mom lives that once he got older and closer to retirement. He would come in 2 - 3 days a week or I should say even after reteriment. He would give animals the vaccinations & medication at cost and never charged anything over what he had to pay for it. He told my mom that he had all the money he needed that he just wanted to be there to help people be able to afford the vaccinations and medication for their animals. Of course he didn't do anything major anymore. But he was a very sweet man.
