So your horse vet doesn’t do dogs and cats at all? How strange! All the vets around here are trying to get away from large animal practice so you’re lucky to find one at all, but they still do small animals. They say that’s where there best money is.
You might could get your vet to vaccinate all your other critters if you gave him enough notice to order the vaccines, if he didn’t already have them.
Well, my vet is a rather odd duck. He only does large animal clients as part of his “normal” practice, and he doesn’t even have a clinic, just a truck. It’s all mobile.
But on the side, he does lots of specialized orthopedic surgeries on all kinds of animals, from dogs to cats to horses. He’s making quite a name for himself, actually, consulting for other vet clinics all over the area who have difficult surgeries come up that they either can’t do or don’t want to do. That’s his real talent. Putting legs back together.
I’ve lately been having a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to lose him as my vet eventually. He’d rather do these surgeries than shots and sheaths, can make a good living just doing a surgery or two a week and windsurfing the rest of the time.
But the other vet I’d switch to is an equine only vet also.
