I breed and show on a very limited basis but there was a point this winter that I was at the vet once a week for 7 weeks in a row. Not with the same dogs either. Puppies for shots, Libby was sick, Mickey for some test, Libby to get spayed..... I think I might need to get a part time job there! I have spent a small fortune in vet fees this year alone and I try to use minimal vaccines - not because of costs but it's just my belief. And I titer my crew which is actually more expensive than getting the vaccine's. Anyways, not complaining. My vet is wonderful and my babies are worth every penny of the care and really, I have to say they are pretty healthy for the most part! |
