Those are valid points about the complex and multifaceted nature of the over-treatment issue in veterinary medicine, Arlo. You rightly pointed out that many factors are driving this problem, including advances in medical science, subjective values around money and insurance, and a desire on the part of both vets and pet owners to keep pets alive at any cost.

At the same time, however, it is essential to note that over-treatment and profiteering in veterinary medicine are problems that must be taken seriously, regardless of their complexity. Something needs to be done to address these issues to ensure that animals get the best possible care and that vets can provide it cost-effectively.

Overall, your post offers a thoughtful and insightful analysis of the complex issue of over-treatment in veterinary medicine. Well done, Arlo!

oops pressed enter too soon!

There are some that see insurance as an open book to charge more and do more tests, often leaving the client with hardly any money left.

I do believe just because we can offer extra doesnt mean we always should. Clients often blinded by love will continue and continue far past the welfare of the animal, to the point ive had an client screaming at me to euthanise their pet when it was doing agonal gasps in the waiting room whilst waiting for a re-ex appointment.

ive worked for vets who will offer everything, and then the other end of the scale where basic care is offered.
