So heres the thing I don't get: if you didn't want to listen to your vet why did you pay for her advice?



Lets look at the facts: she went through at least 8 years of education plus continuing education each year and the mandatory research on the side to keep up with the exotic medicine. When the average vet graduates their debt is 2 times what they will make in thier first year. Most of them offer discount rates and do community outreach in attempt to help those animals who's owners cant. And according to the american veterinary medical association currently most vets are charging way below what they should. And yet clients still complain about the price amd still aren't willing to listen to the information they paid for.



I'd vote for working WITH a vet instead of undermining your relationship with them here. Don't get me wrong, some of the information that is bandied back and forth on this forum is great and discussing it with a qualified medical expert may be very beneficial to your animal's health, but I have seen some outrageously erroneous things said here that are simply not in keeping with any known sciencific studies.



If your vet isn't willing to accept (after CLEAR explanation of the fact) that rodents can be part of a feeder operation find an exotic vet who can. But realize that the safest and most effective solutions to your lice (or any other medical problem) is going to be found in consultation with a qualified veterinarian.
