Why is it that when a pet is injured some people don't automatically call the vet?
It's practically second nature to me: one of my animals isn't 100% (be it an injury, looking a bit peaky, whatever) the first thing I do is call the vet for advice. My cat once ripped a claw out on a tree, first thing I did was call the vet who told me how to stem the bleeding and bring him in for a pain killer and some abx.
My dog got a cut inside her mouth from one of those rawhide things, called the vet, they told me what to do.
Phone advice is free and it's part of what the vet is there for so for me I don't understand why some people don't automatically call the vet for advice if something happens to one of their animals.
I get some people have a real anxiety issue with using the phone, but not everyone. So why do people who are perfectly able to pick up a phone and call a vet not do it?
