Should I buy these ducks?

I can almost guarantee the vet was volunteering or making next to nothing to be there (probably the latter). You would honestly expect a vet to give you his professional opinion on someone ELSE'S birds he examined in a group of 200 more than two weeks prior, without an appointment or compensation? Seriously? That is exactly why I have decided to probably not pursue vet school. Several years of school and a couple hundred thousand dollars in student loans to get into a profession that pays very little and quite honestly seems to get little respect. A person could go to school for half the time and make more money doing something like nursing.

I agree for several reasons that it was good for the OP to pass on the birds, absolutely none of which have anything to do with the vet.
