What's wrong with some VET'S!
In the last couple of days I have learned a few things about the vet's in my area, that has not made me happy and I really can't understand their reasons for some things.
To save you the whole long story, I'll just give you a shorty of it.
Our goat, Briggs took very ill, 6 days ago, we did everything we could to help him and even thought we made some headway to recovery. Till the other night when he went down again. We knew it was time to let him go, no question about it.
So all I wanted was to find a Vet to come over and put him down, humanly! Sounds simple enough right? It wasn't, every vet I called that handles "farm animal's" and a few that don't, said they don't treat goats. I didn't ask for treatment, I asked if they could put him down humanly. They do cows, sheep etc, but no goats, their idea of help was to ask me if we had a gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :mad: :mad: That's how most around here do it, I was told!!
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. They have a woman on the phone, crying about her pet goat wanted it not to suffer any more and they say no, because they don't handle goats. Who cares if it's a goat, dog, cow, sheep or a two headed monster, I was only asking for a shot to spare the pain of a loved pet.
When did Vet's get so much like Dr's. that they can't go out side of their specialty, to help?
Oh FYI: I finally called my Cat and Dog vet and cry-ed to him about it all and he did come out, after work and took away Briggs suffering. Of course this was after I had called early in the day to have the girl at the front desk tell me "We only do small animals"
