| That's all the vets we have left here unfortunately. Not to toot my own horn but I have fantastic instincts when it comes to my animals and I've NEVER been wrong. I clock the girl we had that had kidney failure months before it was evident and called two different vets out and was told it was nothing 🫩 |

| Peggy I thought vets had to do rabies because it requires a signature and proof of vaccination and if you do it yourself theres no proof I know. He taought us how to draw blood to run all our own tests too. We has a goat dairy farm for years so testing consistently was a must |

| And then they wanted a follow up appointment this week and she canceled. They proceeded to call her asking where she was even though she canceled through text and phone call |

| We unfortunately have a vet like that. My mom almost lost her dog a few weeks ago because they brushed her concerns off and said her dog was fine just had arthritis |
| Pegasus Lane |
| The only reason we don't do rabies is because if you poke yourself you get it, or so I've heard. SO true Athena. I miss that man, the only person to actually listen to what I had to say instead of going "well, looks fine! No tests are needed" |
| MakeEm Fancy |
| We do vaccine clinics. Rabies is 10 and then they have deals on other stuff |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| Peggy Right?! Vets charge way too much for those in my opinion. Our vet actually showed us how because he hated coming out to the farm so much because it took 2-3 hours out of his day. I was vaccinating cows, goats rabbits and dogs since I was like 13 lol |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| I have even looked into vaccine clinics, but there are none nearby. |
| Pegasus Lane |
| You could ask them to show you next time! We asked our vet how to do it and he was happy to show. Probably because he didn't like getting spit on 😂😂 |
| Pegasus Lane |
| We do all of our own vaccines (minus rabies) on the livestock and we save so much money 😅 |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @Peggy, yes, although I ended up going to the one closer to home. I think I will just end up going to the one that is 30 minutes away from now on. |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @Athena, I personally am not comfortable doing that because I don't have any experience with it. He did need a rabies vaccine though. |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| I guess it is my own fault though because I should've asked for a price estimate before scheduling the appointment. I've just never heard of a vet charging that much. |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| can't you do vaccines yourself except rabies? We do. Only like 8-12 per vaccine |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| I took Finley to a new vet today to get vaccinated and they charged me $50/vaccine! I think it's safe to say I won't be going back there. I found a vet that charges half of what they do. |

| ah thank you! I'm so used to seeing homozygous genes being capitals that I get a little muddled with horse genes! |

| @Ro No, she has neither Creme nor Champagne. Creme would be CcrCcr, and champagne would be ChCh. She is however homozygous for Sabino and her Extension |
