Vet care will go up…

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • The things NOT covered are a tiny percent of general pet care, a small percent of the vet's expenses, and whether they directly increase the cost of each item to the pet using, it, or spreading that amount over ALL patients, I am sorry but what freaking SKY IS FALLING SO WE'RE GOING TO MILK YOU FOR ALL IT'S WORTH crap. Think about it… just for a moment.

    The cost of some items is going up... OMG 2 to 3 percent. OMG... 2 to 3 percent. Okay so think about THIS... which is absurd. Let's say that (although I suspect they account for far less than 10 percent of any vet's expenses!) that a vet even uses so freaking much that it accounts for 50 percent of their total costs (which of course means they don't pay staff, they use almost no other supplies, free rent.. you getting the picture?)--- they should STILL only be justified in raising their overall rates to ALL CLIENTS by 1.5 percent.

    Sorry Pat, but what hogwash.

    EDITED after further internet search (cannot btw, find the actual FACEBOOK page saying it):
    And btw, yeah same post posted all over, and the right wingers crying sky falling and demo/liberals pointing out not only what I did but so much more I didn't even consider.

  • You would be surprise what the tax is going to hit. I am in the medical equipment business with a manufacturing company and it is amazing what is going to be taxed, down to the smallest little nut and bolt….

    Day to day Vet care may not be directly impacted, but for surgery centers/specialists and care involving surgery (which is expensive enough), these costs for procedures will increase.

    Something to keep in mind when putting money away for that "rainy day"...

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

    I live in the east suburbs of Pittsburgh. I take my B to Norwin Veterinary Associates. Ask for Dr. Harvey Bendix, if he is available. He diagnosed Senji with his liver disease and basically saved his life. He's open to alternative as well as traditional medicine.

    Though my dogs have not had a reaction to a vaccine, I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to vaccines. I would rather give a benadryl to help prvent a reaction then wait and hope for the best. I say this because my cat had a severe vaccine reaction after his rabies shot. Within 20 minutes of the shot he was vomiting, the hair at the vaccination site fell out and the site became swollen. We had to rush him back to the vet to be treated for the reaction.
