Here, in the UK, we expect our vets to be able to treat everything that
might come through the door (small animals) and when farmers phone up,
cows,bulls,sheep,goats,pigs to visit.
My vet(s) can do this. Treat my dogs, cats, poultry and anything else I
might have, I'd say goodbye to them (I've been with this surgery for more
than 30 years) if I thought they couldn't.do the whole lot.
It makes me smile that a vet could just decide to only take cats and/or
dogs. I don't think thats the idea, I thought vets knew how to treat "all"
animals.
