@FetusForever @PaulTheTerror @carteblanchetv So ask the questions,get a cost estimate upfront,discuss alternatives.Get the facts&then decide

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@FetusForever @PaulTheTerror @carteblanchetv Problem is that pet owners can't be expected to know what costs are involved in a treatment.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@FetusForever @PaulTheTerror @carteblanchetv Rather look at a detailed bill and ask for your vet to explain it.That's your right.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@FetusForever @PaulTheTerror @carteblanchetv I'm getting that you have had an issue with a vet. But you can't generalise based on that.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@FetusForever @PaulTheTerror @carteblanchetv Sorry meant to say we're overworked and exhausted cos we don't charge enough

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@LB46559199 I got that - was just trying to say that not all vets charge the same. One example cannot be used to lambaste all vets.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@LB46559199 It cost that at that particular vet. It's not the given rate. All vets shouldn't be tarred with the same brush.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@Devi_SG @carteblanchetv What exactly would you like to see regulated?Just the final bill or could our input costs be regulated too?

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@Lauren_Vet I agree. It's like they took a premise and set out to edit interviews to support it.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@FetusForever @PaulTheTerror @carteblanchetv We don't charge prof fees because we're tired& overworked. It's because we charge too little.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@FetusForever Do you know the net profit margin of a vet clinic?

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@lainey001 CB failed to mention that vets give their time for free at many Community Vet Clinics around the country,started &funded by vets

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@lainey001 Good observation. Also only looking at specialist referral hospitals(Bvh&Fvh) and talking about poverty stricken owners.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@FetusForever Care to explain how charging for a tangible service delivered, with measurable input costs for the vet = corruption?

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@Justin_OKelly Good one! 4 once I know some facts on a story- horrified at the bias shown and prejudicial editing. Questionable reporting.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@brutusanddaisy @Devi_SG @carteblanchetv I want to create perspective because owners make emotional stmts not always true.Google intl fees.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@joshio_c_fisher @Devi_SG @carteblanchetv Have you tried calling out a plumber a/h? Just to create perspective.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@joshio_c_fisher @Devi_SG @carteblanchetv Outrageous compared to what?The actual prof fee is lower than 4 a plumber.Root canal in human:R9k

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@brutusanddaisy @Devi_SG @carteblanchetv Vets are not resp to subsidise your pet's trtmt. You need to budget 4 your pet's care.

[Katja Bier @kbtwvet]

@brutusanddaisy @Devi_SG @carteblanchetv What about a/h medical costs? Why is it unjust 4 vets to charge a/h rates?After working all day?
