Title: Message

What you are saying is sad but so believable. (I don't know why I always assume that vets by and large are compassionate. The same undoubtedly applies to human doctors.) The compassionate ones are probably quite rare. I'm glad you found a goodie. My housecall vet is definitely not compassionate. Her behavior regarding Levy--who was dying--was cold and uncaring. I never want to have to call her again.

My friend uses her (she lives on a farm and in addition to her large "family", she has 3 feral colonies that we relocated to her farm ). It works very well for her, and she loves the vet. But, I just "love" my vet, have used him for years, and he works with my holistic vet and is always open to alternative treatments. So, I really want to stay with him. He is so compassionate and understanding. And after working for several other vet practices, I have seen first hand that money comes first, and compassion, if any, is way down on their list of priorities. (I quit w/ the last vet after 'smuggling" the 2 Maine Coones out....Those vets had NO problem with euthanizing healthy animals. There was also a 6 month Felv+ tortie that was there for weeks, they were going to euthanize & do a necropsy on!? She was so sweet and I felt so bad for her. However, they would not let me take her because the one vet insisted he wanted a necropsy done! Broke my heart, and I was out of there! Chrimminy, I could have placed her in our Felv area....So sad.)
