Wow. What a well written article, Josie. Your clients are so fortunate to have you in their lives - animals and humans alike. It's sad to say that I'm not at all surprised by this. Just another arm of Big Pharma, it seems. :(

Beautifully said! My husband has been a small animal vet for 40 years. It’s made him very depressed because he can’t practice like he did years ago and how he would like to practice now. He didn’t want to retire , though he has certainly earned that privilege at 76 years old.

I treat all of my animals homeopathically other than necessary surgeries . I was recently heavily criticized by a ER doc on my choice to not treat my PIMA puppy with a “cocktail of chemo drugs”. She accused me of not being fair and not giving my pup a fighting chance. I told her I’m treating my puppy the way I choose to and indeed he is deeply loved.

It’s very sad. I blame the owners as well though as there is usually another option or two if they do their own research.

Bringing healthcare human and animal back to the way it used to be practiced would be a beautiful thing.
