re: Putting Dog Down: Vet Gouging Me?

Why would they quote him labwork and testing costs before even evaluating the dog?
For the same reason an ER doc might take X-rays or CT scans that you might not understand. It tells them more, especially with an animal that can’t tell you how they feel. And it’s to cover their arse.
Maybe, just maybe the vet thought the dog still had a better quality of life than Ole judge is leading us to believe.

The vet hasn’t even seen the dog yet. Why would they quote them the price for labwork and testing? How could you possibly know what you would need to order?
And why would there be an exam fee that includes labwork and testing? There is no equivalent to that in human medicine

How old is the fog? Is it sick or are you just tired of it? Bet is doing the right thing

The vet has been seeing the dog. OP has been bringing the dog to the vet. Clearly they aren’t fully comfortable putting the dog down and would like some objective findings rather than just complying with a request they get often by bad owners.
Which he complained about quarterly heartworm testing. Does the dog take heartworm preventative like heartguard?

You don’t understand my question
Why isn’t there a basic physical exam fee?
Then if other labwork or testing is required that would be extra.

Bc if the dog has been seeing the vet and they think it has a good quality of life, they need some change in order to justify killing the animal.

Of course. And again, frick you. I know my dog. I’ve put several shepherds down. Usually I waited too long.
I’ve got you pegged as one of the gougers.

Are you purposefully dodging the question?
I’m not going to get into what findings should constitute euthanisizing a dog.
All I’m asking is why is there not a basic exam fee without testing?
You are implying that labwork and testing is NECESSARY IN EVERY CASE. Please explain why

Thank you for the verbal assault. Glad to see you are trying to understand why vets attempt to cover their arse from difficult clients and do what’s best for the animal.

Where did I say every case? I said specifically his. They already knew they wanted the blood work bc they probably thought the dog didn’t need to be put down based on their experience with the animal.

To diagnose that she is blind and paralyzed? Help me understand that.

Yes. He’s purposely dodging the question. He’s a vet who defends gouging, which means he’s a gouger.
Hey More Beer, send me your address and I’ll bring my dog by so you can pass judgement, you sideways a-hole.

What? You need to go reread what he said
Are you trying to tell me they pulled the dogs chart and decided what labwork and testing needed to be done before seeing the dog?
He said they wanted to do an annual exam. You are implying that they are unable to perform a physical exam without labwork

Was this a recent change? How long has the dog been blind and paralyzed?
If the dog has been that way for a while, what is different btwn 6 months, a year, 18 months ago? Simply time and you want it put down? I’m not saying you’re wrong but that’s little to go off of if there was no major change that affected the dog? The blood work can easily back up the euthanasia decision if anything is found. Was it not eating?

They did not. Blanket policy for this vet.

You won’t be able to reason with him. He’s had an old dog before so that’s imparted him with the knowledge and expertise to diagnose his current dog. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a veterinary license to purchase euthanasia solution. Hence, his reliance on the no-good, money grubbing vet.

I see. If I wait too long i lose the right to put her down. Do you even hear yourself?
