I just want to say that not all vets in the Houston area are "scammers". It seems that vets are in the selling business much like hairdressers when you get your hair cut. The hairdressers want you to buy shampoo, conditioner, etc. The vets want to sell you the toothpaste they have or the chew sticks, etc. I have taken my two to the vet when they were vomiting and had diarrhea and the vet wanted to give them fluids when maybe they really did not need it. But since he is the vet, he knows better (I hope). You always have the right to decline the treatment if you feel it is not necessary. Some vets office calls are higher than others. If you go the vet thinking they are all scammers you probably won't find you one like or trust. Sometimes the vet cannot tell you what is wrong with your animal but some doctors can't make a diagnosis either. I do spend a lot of money at the vet but most of it is my choice. I would rather take them to the vet than to wonder later if they are suffering. If you get a Yorkie, you will need to find a vet you like and trust.
