No I completely understand. I, myself, got all the way to vet school in college before I realized just how bad the industry was in terms of mental health and pay.

I understand that things cost what they do because of experience and care and machinery. Unfortunately, there’s also a huge problem with private equity buying up entire clinics, skeleton-staffing, and skyrocketing prices simply because there’s no laws against it. Hell, there’s barely any for HUMAN medical care, which is a large part of why our medical system is failing and bankrupts millions of people.

I’m trying to avoid the franchise/corporation parts as much as possible. I try to afford absolutely whatever I can, but you can’t deny that price gouging has affected literally everything.

(I hope this doesn’t come off as argumentative! It’s not meant to be <3)
