I just took my dog to the vet. He had a piece of sharp plastic lodged in the roof of his mouth. She found it during the exam, removed it, and gave him a shot of antibiotics. I was out of there within an hour.  It was only 79.00!!!  If I took one of my kids to a doctor, we would have waited two hours and they would have charged insurance about 600.00 for the same thing.  I'm taking my kids to the vet from now on. At least I can be sure they'll never get rabies.   494 Vet ROCKS!!!!! 4951

@topcat:
 
that's because everybody knows that veterinarians are smarter than the regular doctors.
 
if a veterinarian fails to be a doctor of animals they become doctors of people. 4951

@topcat: I've been please with the doctors I have used at KS.  My only complaint is that they move between clinics.  My PCP started in Kingwood, moved to the main clinic on Holcombe, and now it at their new Meyerland Plaza clinic.

@elguapo: You've clearly been going to the wrong doctors then, because I know quite a few vets that are the worst research minds I've met.

I think vets are more caring & pay closer attention to their patients because as we all know our pets can not speak proper English & can only tell us what their problems are thru their eyes & actions. Vets have to learn to "read" what the different actions & signs mean.....wouldn't it be wonderful if our "people doctors" learned to do the same thing with their "human patients"? 4951
