The dog survived despite the lack of proper sanitary measures and post operative comfort. That's one vet my pets will never go to.
It must be very comfortable to be so fastidious and sanctimonious from 1000 miles away.
I’m going to have to disagree.
Years (and years) ago, vets came out to the farm to treat stock and pets. I have seen a vet clear a woodworking bench, lay down some brown paper (to protect the wood), castrate or stitch a dog with we, non-certified owners, assisting and it all took minutes. No sterilization. No warming pad (in fact, that is contraindicated as it can accelerate infection). Antibiotic/antiseptic powders and solutions were employed on the wound and surrounding tissues. All animals lived to the limit of their genetic lifespans in perfect shape.
Attend a calf castration sometime.
And my vet, second generation in the practice, was an Army medical corpsman. We consult him for minor issues before even thinking of the MD. Consider that a DVM needs to understand the physiology of multiple species, as well as biochem,organic chem and basic issues of medicine that hold true across species. That letter “D” stands for Doctor and they have a doctorate.
It is more difficult to enter and complete a vet program than it is for a clinical human medical program.
People have been brainwashed that every ill or injured animal needs $1k worth of tests, access to hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of machinery, before any treatment is even begun, then they wonder why the vet bill is so high.
You can love your animals and get the very best care for them without delaying treatment so the practitioner can check off all the high price point additions.
We love Dr. Pol, watch the show and have been following this case. Dr. Pol is talented, experienced and one of the best in his field. So glad this turned out in his favor. We know for a fact that SJWs have now targeted vet medicine for the next front in regulating our society to death. Good they lost this one.
