you do have some points about vets but when a vet admites he or she made a =
mistake then the owner souldn't have to pay the full bill then. i had one o=
f my fuzzies euthanized this summer and while she gave him the shot in the =
heart as he started to scream and bleed from every where all the vet said =
was i'm sorry i missed.i found out that the only way a ferret bleeds like h=
e did was because she hit a lung instead ofd the heart. that tramitized me =
so badly that i'm still in therapy for post-tramatic stress disorder. that =
was back in june. i have 2 more sick enough to have the same thing done but=
since that is the last memory of my little angel i won't have it done agai=
n. i think if a vet makes a mistake he or she should at least cut the cost =
of the bill in half! there are vets out there that do. i think we need more=
vets for ferrets out there but since ferrets have more health problem and =
being more expeincive then a dog or cat then cutting the bill for their mis=
take is the least they can do.
