We just had our annual check up, and the 'kids' just turned 5. the vet said next year he'll start testing their blood work. Is this necessary? especially at such a young age? And when they are so healthy?
I'm not sure if this is just a 'money making'tactic. or something very necessary.
with my previous cat, this was never mentioned by my other vet.
just curious as to what the opinions are about this
Honestly, to me it seems like just a ploy to make money. Isn't it sad how some vets take advantage of people?
I know this isn't exactly the same thing- but have you noticed how some vets have people put cones on their pets after getting spayed or neutered? Personally I have never had a vet put a cone on any of my pets. In fact, Sina immediately started pulling on her stitches after getting spayed, causing me to call the vet in a panic. He assured me that she could rip out 2 of the 3 stitches, if not all of them, and have no problem because their was a second set inside. So do some vets prescribe the cones just so they can make money off of them?
