Have I mentioned that I really like my vet?

[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 154044"] Lisa - My first job was in a vet clinic. We had a lot of clients that did their own shots - especially breeders. The only shot they had us do was rabies because even though they can do it themselves, it's not considered administered unless done by a licensed vet (state or federal law - not sure - this was in Georgia). When Abbey got sick (she got sick on a Sunday) I did have to take her to an ER vet clinic as my vet wasn't taking emergencies that week. When one of the vets is on vacation, they don't take after hours emergencies because only one vet is pulling all of the clinic hours plus evening and weekend rounds. The ER clinic was outrageously expensive and the quality of care was only ok. When I saw our vet on Monday I gushed, I'm so glad you're here. He agreed that the ER clinic is handy to have as a back up but he recognizes it's drawbacks. My baby kitten was passing clots of blood and vomitting and in obvious distress - obviously dehydrated - and the ER clinic took back first a dog that had been stung by a bee. No, the dog was not allergic. I'm really glad he was here when Cassie passed. I would have been beside myself if she has been at that ER clinic. [/QUOTE]
