For what it's worth, I wish vets at least had EXPERIENCE keeping each kind of animal that they treat...that would really help to cut down on some of the ridiculous
advice they've been known to give pet owners. They're trained to focus on the medical solution when many times it's as much about the husbandry, if not entirely. (of course, "medical" solutions make more money than advice...and they usually take less time than talking over all the relevant issues)
