'Ashamed to be a vet'.

sour grapes make bitter wine, and it sounds like this guy has enough to open his own vineyard

I believe there is good and bad in every profession, but this author decided to take all the bad and paint other vets with that same brush. I would want to know all of my options for an ill pet, but I wouldn't want expensive procedures pushed down my throat, and be looked down on if I elected not to extend the pet's life - just because it was medically possible.

I have a wonderful vet and have been with her for about 20 years. She's always been one to take a conservative approach first, rather than jumping in to some radical treatment with both feet.

The previous vet I used, was one that was in it for the money, and always pushed the expensive treatments, procedures, etc. I had a Lhasa with a broken tooth - it never bothered him - but she wanted to do a root canal. NOT!!!

Agreed.
