Does anyone ever feel like the vets are money hogging with no real humility (pet-mility) when it comes to really caring for our pets?
It is not enough that we are worried sick sometimes because we cannot figure out why our pet is acting sick/ is just sick, or flustered because of the ridiculous fees charged for short checkup or tests that is more often than not, inconclusive, but the vet has to at times prescribe drugs or food where the importance of buying it would mean your pet would be even more sick than if you do not buy it... what can you do but rely on their expertise? Oh! Correction - sometimes they shoot using their nurses - because the vet is on a pedestal and couldn't ever pick up the phone and talk to you directly. So the nurses are like "you must get it, the vet said so". When you asked for the vet to call back, they never do. Even human doctors call back.
This is ridiculous. I was already suspicious and asked over and over again whether certain prescriptions are necessary, and the nurse refused to put the vet on (or the vet simply hid away in the castle). My pet got sicker and sicker until I stopped the prescription. I tried to get a refund for the prescription and the nurse was heck of a rude one, no one called back, and the vet is still missing. What kind of service is this? The prescription aint expensive, but for so little money, the vet and its clinic really showed me how ridiculous they can be.
Where are the good vets out there in Hong Kong? I so want to file a complain at the Veterinary Surgeons Board.
