Agree. I've seen this many times, particularly with 'Old School' farm
vets who usually own an old shaggy dog or cat themselves.
This, in the face of the fact that the farm vet is also responsible
for caring for large herds of livestock that may be worth hundreds of
thousands or even millions of dollars. Most will care for an old,
beloved, dog or cat with equal dedication and attention.
No disrespect to city folks, but most don't comprehend the clear
distinction that exists between domestic pets and livestock in a rural
community, perhaps because they've had no experience with livestock.
