Thanks Baz. Sounds like we're both having a tough time.

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.
