This is a little off topic. That is why I hate vets. My old dog was very ill when he was young, but instead of the vet giving us Cure A (Can't remember the names), which was cheap and worked well. Instead he gave us Cure B, which was expensive and inneffective. My dog nearly died due to this and we lost a crap load of money.

It wasn't until we decided to take him to a skin specialist that told us that Cure A costs 50 quid and need to be done once or twice. He told us all vets know about it and some give Cure B because they earn more money off it, even though it has a high fatality rate.

Needless to say we promptly left the original vets.

Wow.  In the US those would be prime conditions for a malpractice or professional negligence lawsuit.

 

I'll say.  That vet would be taken to the cleaner.  You have to provide all viable options to your patients.
