Am I being fleeced?

[sirrahbed]

I have never heard of a 6 month check up. Also, worm checks are only done on my animals as kittens, if they have a history of parasites and if there is some indication of a problem. Also, it is not necessary to take a rectal sample. You can bring in a stool sample from the box and have it float checked for worms and other parasites. Why subject the animal to a rectal? Is that what they do?? Emily has had worms twice and so of course we have to have all the kitties take the medication, but it is a powerful drug and I sure would not use it unless a stool sample indicated worms. Yearly is all my vet has ever suggested to me...except as kittens they have their series. Any others out there? This does NOT sound right to me...
