I received a “nasty-gram” today from someone whose goats were dying, who contacted me for help. This person was not an established client and was clearly dealing with death’s door issues. Like - too late now kind of issues.
I was accused of being money hungry and not an animal lover. Y’all. 😂
Veterinarians as well as mobile technicians like myself have had to make the “established clients only for emergencies” rule BECAUSE of people like this. If we don’t see your farm and your daily care of your animals, we cannot properly care for them. We can’t know what they looked like before they were sick, what kind of environment they are existing in, or what kind of routine care you are providing. All of this information is crucial to diagnosing problems.
If you do not have an established relationship with an area DVM and you have an emergency… You are not likely to find any help except for the university of Florida field offices.
And while I do absolutely love goats and have a lot of knowledge from over 20 years of caring for them at the highest levels… I also only offer consultation services to existing clients.  I’m not a hotline or keyboard warrior.
It doesn’t matter if you send me guilt trips or nasty messages. All that does is guarantee that you won’t see me at your gate in the future.
