Vets do take advantage, and sometimes they give such awful advice that it's scary. One of my friends had a puppy who was a swimmer. Typical in a litter of two. Her vet said: "Well, we won't put him down today....." Swimmers are usually a quick fix, and instead here is this vet talking about putting the puppy down. Didn't have a clue how to hobble the puppy.
