 You Get What You Pay For
When my friend and I moved to our new home we started looking for an affordable vet because of all the animals we have. Well we found one and we started taking our animals there. I was crazy about our other vet but they were kind of expensive. I really missed them though. Well a couple of things changed our mind about affordable vet care. The first was that they don't believe in screening before spaying. I had to beg them for the screening and then they charged alot of money to do it. The second reason was they are too impersonal, it's like going to a clinic you never get the same vet twice. The second reason is that one of my basset hounds got a very bad reaction to the distemper vaccine and got really sick. When we took her back to the vet she told us to buy benadryl over the counter and give it to her. Not even a shot to help her. Thank God she snapped out of it. My friend's dog almost died because of the distemper shot. She ended up in emergency where the dog was put on an iv all night and given five more shots. It ended up costing her over $900 in the emergency hospital.
When my cat got an attack of asthma we took her over there and without even going into things she gave us Clavamox which had no effect at all, No shots or anything that's when we decided to go back to our old vet who knew her record. She gave her an injection and Azithromycin and in two days she was fine again. Sorry this is so long but I wanted to explain that sometimes you just cant economize when it comes to your pets. |
