vets who take advantage
In two cases, 4 months apart, two different vets: both estimated or said
about $400 to examine, perform blood work, x-rays and to keep cat until morning. When cat was picked up, both vest presented bills for $1200. The 1st one gave in little and was vary arrogant with weak justification, the 2nd vet, after my complaint, reduced the bill to $440. It is my conclusion, that a business practice of vets is to lure customer in, then prey on their emotions to milk the maximum cash. The cases above do not include the additional vet highly recommended treatments, like blood transfusion, daily dialysis etc. which were highly beyond our means. I feel the vet industry is ripe for some sort of control as we have seen in the human medical industry and maybe a better and more appropriate example is the rules and conditions mortuaries now have to operate under. That business in the past, like vets today, manipulated and influenced those who were in grief, feigning shock that you wouldn't want to have the best money can buy for your loved ones. I am left with an extremely fowl taste of the vet industry and I hope someday reforms as seen by mortuary and medical industry can become more prevalent from state to state for vetinary. It is shameful and disgusting the way vets feed on human emotion to line their pockets |

I haven't run into anything quite this blatant, but I know well what you mean.
Cats have become BIG business. Chelle. "The day may come when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny. The question is not can they REASON, nor can they TALK, but can they SUFFER?" -- Jeremy Bentham |
