'Life and Death' for Pets: Elizabeth Warren Targets Firm Buying Veterinary Offices

[birdographer]

9. I remember!

When I was a kid, the doctor would show up at the house! Can't even imagine that now. In this town, we have one vet who will do farm animals. We tried to call her twice a few years ago and she never called back, not even to bother saying she wasn't taking on new patients. We have two chickens. We lost one a few years ago because there was no place to take her to get treatment. We are back to two now. Right now we have one showing some problem signs, but we got some antibiotic online after the last loss, and we are hoping it will help with her problem.

It's scary having pets now because you don't know if you can get help when you need it. Lots of vets, just not working ones. A few hours a week and that's it.
