Look, dude, I don't want to hear a bunch of crap about your life and how special and reckless your dog is. You asked a question about the dog and pain killers, and brought up the vet, and people told you what to do, and then you got all offended (like a woman) when you didn't like what people had to say. If you're going to be such a fairy about everything that you post, why don't you just save yourself the aggravation and stop treating this forum like it's your own personal diary?

Who says you have to read it? If you don't like what I have to say, and history has proven that you don't, why would you bother to waste your precious time penning a response?
I already knew the mutt needed to go to the vet, I thought I would try and see if the girl that I have been dating for two weeks could help me. As it turns out she really couldn't. I didn't know the specifics of her professional life, until I asked. She was honest and I don't feel one bit bothered by it. She was apologetic on Saturday when we finally got a chance to hang out again after she was on call all week, but I told her not to worry about it. It was never her problem.
I took the dog to the vet the next day, just like I knew I had to and others on the forum said I should.
I'll give you the same advice that I gave Zimm. If you don't want to read what I have to say, then just put me on your ignore list. Or, when you respond with little one sentence bull**** remarks, expect a rebuttal. You're an attorney, I'm sure you understand that.

you might be right for where you live but my experience has been the opposite. MOST are in it for the money and a few are in it for love of animals and caring about the owners.
example, in Calgary there is the TransCanada vet. we took an 18 year old dieing dog to them, they talked the wife into a blood test ($350). i asked them what the hell are they thinking? "well you do want to know what the dog is dieing of!" yah, old age. s***, one look at the dog you could tell that. we took the dog home at their advice and it died in the night. a bill arrives for $350 plus the examination fee plus the cremation. if i remember right, the final bill was close to $600 for a dieing dog that you could put into one hand, that was the last time i went there for anything.
then there is the time...
nah, you find a good vet they are worth every penny (and i am willing to pay as long as i am not being bent over). i am not cheap when it comes to my friends but common sense has to come into play.

Nice rebuttal.
"My dog is in pain. Should I take him to the vet now, or wait until someone will look at him for free? Now? Why now? But tomorrow will be free. Don't judge me! My dog is a free spirit! I cannot control my dog. One time, there was a fence, but I was living on a commune, and then train. Oh yeah, dog not person, but then again, this girl I know, and one time a cat scratch, but then, you're an attorney, so you're an attorney. Fine, then put ignore, or don't read, but I will never yield my ground, DON'T TREAD ON ME! We were dating for two weeks, so aspirin?"
It's just stupid. You're just a dumb guy doing dumb things and then posting them on the internet. If you don't want to be criticized for being stupid, then stop posting stupid things.
"Blah blah blah, here are six hundred things that have happened to me in the past two weeks in one incredibly long sentence about how fxxxing awesome I am at slaying the tail and should I buy a suit and I sell houses and my brother has got serious problems and may die if I don't help him but it is kind of inconvenient to help him now because I am staying at his place but I thought maybe I could buy it out from under him and then rent it to him so we had a couple of beers to talk about it but then this guy I know from high school disappeared for ten years but now he's back and he's Spawn from the comic books and there's something about cheese and hanging out on a lake in Wisconsin."

Someone will call Mattlock a moronic fxxxstick retard (or some variant).
mattlock will cry that he is singled out and picked on, not realizing that he is using mudchat as his own personal diary, and comes across as hyperdefensive and too "in your face, king of run on sentence mumbo jumbo posting fool." (in a four paragraph diatribe)
mattlock will sulk off into the corner and not post again until 10 minutes later.

I agree 100%. Vets which suck money out of people for un-neccesary prodecures when an owner is at their most vulnerable are scum. But they probably would be scum too in any other profession.

no. im gonna keep reading everything you write. it brings the awesome. you have no clue as to how HUUUUUUUGE of a douche you are, and so the funny will just keep on coming.
I am sorry for your experience.
If you go to a vet for a diagnosis, they will try to diagnose what is afflicting your friend. Bloodwork will be a big part of that. They will be ethically bound to "First, do no harm..."
All I have is data that suggests today's vet students make a very similar time commitment as their counterparts in human medicine and dentistry. They also take on a similar debt obligation to finance 4 years of education that puts DVM after their name.
Where the trend breaks though is earning potential. The human side will make much more than those going into veterinary medicine. This strains a new veterinary graduate's ability to pay loans and get started on a life they deferred for their life's work.
The fallout of this is that there are projected shortages of veterinarians to fill jobs in the food animal and public health/safety sectors. This will be difficult to manage as the population becomes further removed from our sources of food production.
Again, I am sorry for your experiences during difficult times when your companions were dying.
