Charging professional fees for a species I'm not familiar with varies with what the animal needs. If it's just a routine health check or minor infection, that's one thing, but if the animal needs an abscess drained, a biopsy, sedation for a radiograph, etc, I'm not dropping fees. Even if I've never seen the species before and don't know much about it, I'm still charging for specialized professional services. An exception would be a surgery that I haven't done before, or have very limited experience with. In that case I'll probably charge a lower rate.Originally Posted by Big Gunns
Of course they're "willing to work with you". They're basically getting paid to go to school. BG did have Vet years ago that did just that though. She "worked" with BG. Since BG knew other "qualified Vets" and large breeders in other states, BG knew what was "cutting edge". Not many Vets used "Fortaz" years ago. BG heard about it from Pete Kahl and his Vet. She called the Vets and got advice and could prescribe it to BG. She would do it for next to nothing since BG was basically "taking her to school". Fortaz also works great when boas get an RI during breeding season. Someone always will..... they are not as strong as Balls.
BG is gonna give you some good advice CV. Scott Stahl in Virginia is a great knowledgeable Vet. If you ever have a question with something give him a call and BG is sure he'll help you out. If you tell him you met Big Gunns on line(sounds kinda gay) he'll be able to tell you how great The Man, The Myth, The Legend in his own mind really is. One problem though. Only forum losers like Big Gunns and the rest of us know who he is. Scott probably doesn't know Big Gunns as Big Gunns.
