They run the board, just like MD's

Damn near as expensive because the patients aren't insured.

I love dogs, I love my dogs, but like everything else they find every fricking angle to milk as much money out of you as possible.

They do that so that for your next dog you will feel guilty enough to buy insurance for it.

How old is the dog? That will let me know whether to tell you this makes sense or if the vet is just robbing you..

If there isn't any severe damage found, they will give what was prescribed and send him home. You may have to return for a checkup if he doesn't improve, or maybe even if he does.

My sister has had one dachshund need a surgery and another that ended up not needing it. It ain't cheap, but both came out fine and were able to walk and run.

She's had five total over the years. Three of them have had back issues. One required surgery, one worked through it, and another just had to be watched and went through some therapy. It comes with the territory.

No. He’s not. It’s a fricking dog. Get some damn perspective and a new vet.

Paid $10k for emergency surgery on a dog once.


Once.

*I love dogs, but you gotta draw the line somewhere. If another one decides to swallow a dish rag it's going to be "Sorry bud. Nice knowing you."
