vet reported woman for animal cruelty because she couldnt afford 10k surgery for dog

67. I have an asshole vet like that around the corner.

I went there for a couple of years after we moved to Florida. My dogs were always healthy, so it was mainly check-ups, heartworm and flea medication. My female, we had for 13 years, was getting arthritic, seemed to be in pain, and had a lot of trouble getting up. I took her in to the vet, mainly to reinforce my suspicion that it was time.

They took her in the back, cleaned her teeth (which didn't need cleaning) without asking me, said they "thought" she had a bladder infection, and recommended acupuncture treatments 3 times a week.

I told them to fuck off, and took her to another vet who was recommended, and she agreed that it was time. I've been driving an extra 40 minutes to see her now for 7 years. She treats my dogs like they were members of her family.

I read later, that the a guy who was distraught, when he came home from work found his dog had died, and he took the dog to the first vet, who charged him $300 for trying to resuscitate a dead dog.
