My dad's sister had a mini dachshund Shetland sheepdog mix years ago. She couldn't figure out what was going on with him drinking water obsessively vomiting etc. I went to vetstreet website and it said to take the animal to a vet right away because it was sign of diabetes.

Last time I went to a vet for an emergency I spent 200 just for them to tell me she had allergies >.>

I like my vet for exams but the vaccine boosters are cheaper through pop up vax clinics

I will say my current vet is an amazing person an the money it took to get juju treated for a infection was super affordable, but with gas getting insane its difficult getting something wedged in between working just to stay afloat

Thank you. I'm just glad she's not in pain anymore.

I just got my cat fixed for $55 that included rabies shot with tag. My vet wouldn't fix her at all so had to put her on a list 😅

Large animal vets around me are useless. My 2 year old was colicking last weekend and only one guy out of probably 10 we called picked up. And he was an hour and a half away. So we did have to put her down, unfortunately. We did have a REALLY good equine vet there for a while, but he retired. Thankfully my aunt's the leading tech at one of the small animal clinics, and one of their vets had experience with equine euthanasia, so she was able to come out and put her down.

There's only a few vets in my area and one purposely charges a premium just because of that reason. I went there for a quote on spaying my other dog and they quoted me almost 2,000$ plus some unnecessary tests I didn't ask for. So I been vet shopping. I needed to get my cat's teef cleaned. I found a good vet but they're so overwhelmed with clients that they told me if I wanted an appointment, I'd have to go on the waiting list which would put me somewhere at the end of August or beginning of September. Then I found a new vet open in the area that had room for appointments. Got my cat toof checked, then the vet tells me he doesn't have the equipment for doing the cleaning yet. So I'm still looking out for a vet that will do toof cleaning..

It's funny and pitiful how you have friends that say they'll always help you every time you break your back to help them and when you finally need their help they say they can't or they won't

Our vets here are great for both horses and goats.
My heart horse had to get seen on a weekend after ripping off the back of his eyelid (it grew back). Had to trailer in my pony for an eye injury, which sadly seems permanent. Had my goat vet out twice after hours on the weekend trying to treat my wether, and unfortunately he needed up having to be put down. So there are definitely some great vets out there. Just have to find them and hang on to them.

It really depends on the vet. I think most of them are in it for the right reasons. It's a lot to go through, especially mentally

1 am totally with all of you. This is only a few bits that hurt a horse by being in their mouth. The rest of the bits being "hurtful" is all rider. I have a neighbor that rides in bits that I would never even imagine in my horses mouth but all of her horses are wonderful and soft and love to be ridden (She rides western pleasure and uses curbs and has no contact except for corrections which last about 5 seconds and it's her adding contact for a bit so horse will drop their heads) I ride my horse in a neck rope, loose ring, loose ring French link and a bit less bridle, he hates hackamores. I ride in bits for flatwork and dressage and neckrope on play days and in the winter. My horse is so relaxed in a neck rope it makes me so happy. Sorry, side tracked. A rider with heavy hands or a temper who is quick to yank can make even a rubber D hurt a horse. A rider who gives and takes along with riding soft handed could ride in almost anything and have it comfortable for the horse. My small pony cannot do anything but a bit, he goes in a teenie driving but or egg butt. Occasionally when he's being a real A hole he gets a twisted wire because his favorite pass time is dragging people across the yard. Side tracked again, lol. The whole bit thing makes me so angry because people who don't know anything about horses at all are putting in their 2 cents and they have no idea. I'm so pissed.

100% agree with you. Some bits are made to hurt but others aren't. Basically any bit you put in a horses mouth is soft until you make it abusive. People have no idea what they are talking about. Theres even some extreme people who use bitless because they hate bits so much but their horse isn't comfortable in it. Its sad to see the lengths people go to just to support their side of their pathetic argument.
