We have to keep in mind that a veterinary practice is a business, just like a donut shop or Home depot. They make a living selling merchandise and/or services. When they see Winkipop with arthritis or Tank with cancer, they see a selling opportunity. Demanding another exam, even if free, is only an attempt to up-sell you something else.

To profiteer off Winkipop's meds, or encourage an $8000 surgery and chemo to treat the cancer of a dog already three years past his expected lifespan,is simply looking for a revenue opportunity.

...Maybe I'm just shooting at the messenger.

A friend just got Delilah, a Cane Corso (aka Italian Mastiff). She's the runt of the litter, which doesn't look like a problem to me...

If it is actually raining, Bodhi is not going out, but windy and cold does not seem to discourage him much, as long as we are talking about going out the front door, back door not so much. Saw a little skunk this morning, gave the little fella a very wide berth.
