Great Post!
I recently switched vets b/c I did not feel she wanted to take the time to hear or research my questions or concens. She always seemed to be in a hurry to get in and out. Our new vet is GREAT! He spent about 30 minutes with us our first visit and explained EVERYTHING I asked or questioned about. It gets better, I went back and suggested a med. Ladymom told me about. He admitted he had no experience with it b/c it is so new. However, called a specialist at the vet school, as well as researched it on a research database. He was more than happy to order it for me from the pharmacy.
Soooo, I am glad I questioned the med he had prescribed and found something new. I am even more glad that he was so helpful and receptive to suggestions.
