A licensed vet is. It's not as if I'm refusing to take him to the vet and get him medical care. He's been at the vets all afternoon. His injuries have been accessed, his wounds have been treated, and he's stable. He's not going to die, he's just injured. If he where critical or in danger, I would be taking him to the emergency clinic. But he's not, he's stable and medicated, and his vet and I have carefully discussed his treatment plan. If something changes during the night I will take him to the emergency clinic. If my vet had thought he wasn't stable, or thought he might crash during the night she would have had me take him to the emergency clinic (BTW - There's 2, thanks for the info on the other one, it's about 40 minutes from where I'm at in Vegas, but it's good to know there's a good one in town should I need it!).
We're not friends, you don't know me, and you are judging me based on incomplete knowledge. You don't know me or my vet, and you haven't seen Moose. Yes, he's injured, but he's not critical, and will get the best care he can get, but at this point he's not critical or an emergency, and has received the needed medical treatment he needs for the night, and will be dropped back off to have his wounds re-evaluated, flushed, and treated by my vet again tomorrow and stay with her while I care for my friend's dad again tomorrow so he will get the medical care he needs.
