Dave, I'm really sad to hear about your dog and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that this new mass is something benign. I'll keep you and him in my thoughts.

In defense of veterinarians, the profit margin in veterinary medicine is slim at best. Overhead is outrageous. Granted, the mark-up on most medications and services are typically at least 100%, but with the cost of employee wages, insurance, equipment, utlities, etc. many small practices are often barely squeaking by.
