What about the 6 vets that work for the City--are they providing the bulk of the care and the outsiders backup? <BR/><BR/>Do they have employment contracts with the City or some other way of getting paid. <BR/><BR/>Can you document which ACT refuses to treat the animals because they do not have time to give the animals meds?<BR/><BR/>I think I may begin a whole new website just on vet care in Los Angeles, the good vets, the bad vets and all between as well as indications of their pricing.<BR/><BR/>I know readers will be quick to point fingers at vets they have had ad experiences with, and not point to good vets they don't want to get too busy with too many clients.<BR/><BR/>But I am constantly talking to people about who they use as their vets, rates, etc.<BR/><BR/>Now I am beginning to ask rescue groups about their experiences.<BR/><BR/>LAAS has pointedly refused to review vets who contract with the City. I know they keep numbers but I don't know whether they take complaints for the S/Ns done at a City shelter or the contract vets they refer animals to.<BR/><BR/>I guess a request for public documents can give me that info.Ed Muzikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214241089861837159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-75913401093723500412009-01-26T13:16:00.000-08:002009-01-26T13:16:00.000-08:00The only vets who work with the city are not the b...The only vets who work with the city are not the best vets.They are generally new vets with little experience or they are bad vets who need the money. There may be a few good ones in there but they are few. <BR/><BR/>I met an outside vet for the city. She is the only one in her hospital willing to go treat shelter animals. The other two refuse to go because they are paid poorly and the ACTs never follow their medical treatment advice. If they tell them to give eye drops or pills to an animal, they flat out refuse. They refuse because they have too much work because they are caring for more animals than ever. There is barely enough time to log in, feed, clean the animals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
