LOL, I didn't know lawyers were prohibitied from receiving gifts. I am not sure that is the 'law' in OH.

As for the vet and the gift card, I can see why you would feel like you do, Jen. It doesn't make sense, frankly. You gave the gift in the spirit of giving. I think she should accept it in the same way. I can't think of any ethical violations that would exist in the context of a vet/patient relationship.
