Things you wish you could say

They're in the walls. If they come into the house itself, I'm sure the mischief monsters will.

Ugh, nasty things

A friend did not just pay $6,000 for an emergency C section on a beagle - price for bloodwork and X rays not yet determined. Also, daughter did not just pay $800+ for bloodwork and anti diarrheal medication for her pug.

800 bucks for blood work and antidiarrheal medicine?! Were the needles and pill bottle made of solid gold!? If that was only a quarter of that price that'd still be too expensive. 800 is highway robbery!

When my mom's little Chihuahua had kidney problems it was 1k to diagnose and another 1k for one treatment cycle, at which point we had to have her put down since we couldn't possibly cover the routine treatment.
How many more pets would have more time / better health if they charged reasonable rates?

But it's not unique to vets. My insurance sent me a copy of the covered bill for routine annual human blood work. Also 1k.

The for-profit health industry is immoral IMO.

Would you lot just remember that poor mum is almost 94 and needs a rest.

....going to the VET is expensive, and most VETS are charging the fee that is robbery kind of fee. We have pet insurance available over here and it does not include tick bite and a few general stuff that dogs get. I thought what the point in that?

I do have a few VETS are are very kind, charge a decent fee, but they are those often far away from the high population location. I am happy to drive the distance because they care and they don't rob my bank.

Shut up and stop being so rude - we are all adults here not your students.

Please, if you say you're going to do something, at least try your best to do it. Otherwise it's just confusing and frustrating and then your word loses it's value...
