As I mentioned last week, I ran across a bunch of veterinarian pointers...comments made by veterinarians and those in the field. So here is part two. I have a bunch but gleening through the list makes me think that two will cover most of it.
It is one thing if an animal is in misery and barely hanging on for life. One office had a contract with their local Humane Society to euthanize the animals that need to be put down. I'm sure the Humane Society tried to find homes, but they sent 72 cats to be put down in one day...which left the entire office "emotionally devistated".
Veterinarians learn about medical issues in school. The behavior issues are learned through experience--and just like having children, there is no instruction book issued. Yet, the biggest causes for pets being put up for adoption or being euthanized are behavior issues.
A vet in Laguna Hills, California says that she has people (plural) bring in pets who have been hit by a car because the stopping mechanism on retractable leashes broke or failed.
Even though you see vitamins for your pets in pet stores (and sometimes even in Veterinarian offices), your pet probably does not need vitamins. The pet food campnaies spend a lot of money to make sure they are offering a balanced product for your pet.
Here is some common sense! An indoor cat does not need vaccinations after their initial shots as a kitten. After all, they are not going to magically get rabies sitting inside the house.
and a bonus quote: "if we were in it for the money, we would have become human doctors" Well stated!
