Recycling?
I never trusted the doctor who told me to put our dog down, but I never thought something like this.
Was the dog vaccinated against covid 19-84?
Sometimes the injuries or illness are so severe the client cannot pay for exploratory efforts and repeated efforts just to see if recovery is possible. In that instance, it is likely best to suggest euthanizing the dog. Then,if the vet decides to try new techniques or take risks and board the dog for free over repeated efforts to see if there is any benefit or cure, the dog can be put up for adoption. Curing the dog or repairing injury is sometimes done by vets who basically have the clinic adopt the dog. Then if recovered, the dog is adopted and the fee goes to compensate the treatments and boarding, which sometimes takes months. I don’t think a vet would ‘swindle’ an owner out of a dog for $450 when all they have to do is clean the teeth of client’s dogs. Bad example I know - but vets can earn that kind of money without restoring a very ill dog to health.
The shelter still refuses to give the woman her dog.
The shelter workers and the vets involved in this scam should all do hard time and lose their licenses.
Should’ve taken the pup to a Kristi Noem veterinarian center.
She guarantees her work.
Many people euthanize too readily
I’ve come to trust vets less and less. The rip-off on heartworm meds is but on reason. I stopped buying the pills from the vet when I found I could just buy Ivermectin from a supply house, allowing me to go from spending $30 per month, to $25 per year. I now reject the heartworm test as well. Why test if my dogs are on Ivermectin?
That's when I would have taken the dog elsewhere for a second opinion. A good vet respects the bonds between animals and their masters. Best vet I never had was when I lived in Louisiana. I had a shepherd I rescued after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. In the spring of 2017 he had a stroke and his right side was paralyzed and he couldn't even pick his head up to eat or drink. I saw the doc get misty eyed when we decided to put him to sleep and I was cradling my dog's head when the deed was done. The doc let me be alone with him in the room as long as I wanted after that.
A good old school country vet in the best tradition of James Harriet.
Most of the pet rescues are a racket.
And there is no way in hell is anyone going to stop me from being with one of my animals when the time comes.
