1. Sorry to hear about your pet

Sorry to hear about you pet. It's expensive to care for a pet and when they're sick or injured their medical expenses are high just like humans' expenses are. Veterinarians are among the lowest paid in professional medicine so it's not surprising the costs are high considering they probably have student loans to pay off as well as the cost of running their business which includes salaries for their staff.

I worked in the medical field in the AF and I knew a number of doctors, dentists, and veterinarians. What I learned from them is Veterinary School is one of the hardest to get into. One dentist told me a friend from medical school tried to get into Veterinary School but didn't and became a heart surgeon instead. One veterinary said the reason she joined the AF was because she couldn't afford health insurance or insurance on her veterinary business.
