who Shadow had to see weekly, also. If they charged $50 per week for

really afford that?


I think his vet is charging for an "annoyance" visit..


He's already said he "shies away from vets." With an attitude like that, no

vet

is going to give away his time. Plus going to a humane society for low-cost
vaccinations...I understand totally why his vet charges for office calls.
There are several situations where my vet waives the office call fee. He

waives

it if the animal ends up hospitalized, doesn't charge office calls for
follow-ups, and doesn't charge it if it's a minor deal the tech takes care

of.

Same with mine. I wonder if CP lets his cats do the talking at the vet's???


You mean like Norman Bates lets Mother do all the talking??

Sherry
Exactly, only creepier..

CP, you claim to love your cats so much, but you can't shell out the money
to take them to a regular vet? Plus, I find it wrong that you use the
low-cost vaccination services that are meant to be for people who have no
other means of getting their pets vaccines, not for cheapskates.

You know, this is a really good point. Sounds like CP is taking advantage of
these low cost clinics.

Actually, the low cost clinics make money on the shots; pet owner costs $12
for DHLPP or FVRCP, $8 for rabies. I volunteered at one of our local
clinics shot days and a big deal was made over how many shots were done for
the community, and the profits gained. In this way it really does benefit
the community public clinic, but it doesn't take the place of having a
regular vet who knows your pets history.
