Missouri

This is production agriculture... If you want something done right, you should learn to do it yourself or allow for imperfections. Odds are, somewhere around your second year of prevet classes you're going to hit a wall where you look around the room filled with these odd human like creatures aspiring to become canine and feline specialists and suddenly discover being a multi species large animal vet is an ignorant amount of work, it's probably not worth the pay, and damn sure isn't worth the hassle of taking calls at all hours of the night from people who shouldn't even own livestock. There's a very good reason why good large animal vets are dwindling. I tip my hat to even the ones I won't use in hopes that they become the one I want to use.

A twisted uterus can be fairly obvious or it can feel like a very small soft ridge in a puddle of goo that is easily overlooked, but when did it get twisted? Are you sure she didn't roll over and twist it while you were gone or during the trailer ride home? Did you arm her yourself? ...or ask to for educational purposes? There are an unusual amount of cows going long in my area this year. When cows go long, they're miserable and do stupid stuff causing other stupid stuff. It happens. They're cows.

Telling them to take the bill and shove it might make you feel better today, but what are you going to do 5 years from now when he's the only vet in town and you have a real train wreck on your hands?

Guess I'd pay the bill and move on.
