The Reason
Veterinary Expenses are So High
A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon.
As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and
listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly
and said, "I'm so sorry, your pet has passed away."
The distressed owner wailed, "Are you
sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. The duck is dead" he replied.
"How can you be so sure?" she protested.
"I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be
in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few
moments later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the
duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front
paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then
looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet patted the dog and took it out and returned a few moments later with a
beautiful cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed he bird from its
beak to its tail and back again. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its
head, meowed softly, jumped down and strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is
most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."
Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys, and produced a
bill, which he handed to the woman. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill.
"$300!" she cried. "$300 just to tell me my duck is dead?!!"
The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill
would have been $40. But with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan,
it all adds up."
