As some one who had been doing private practice, I understand the difficulties of vets practising in janadriya, i met a friend a few days before he was thinking of winding up the business of doing private practice there. Some owners owe nearly 60000 riyals and giving some lame excuses for the non-payment, one even told him that he will not pay now as he was upset with the service, when a very costly yearling was colicking, the vets did not attend to it immediately.This is non-sense, dont the vets have their private life, they were attending to a birthday party that night and asked another nearby vet to attend to that case, and the attending vet had advised the owner to take the animal to a referral clinic as it was a surgical case. But the owner refused to take and the horse died. Now the owner has stopped the payment and the vet in a big trouble. I hate this and that is one of the reason i left, imagine in the middle of night, during winter, with temperatures near zero, attending to dystocias and colics, the next day when you go for your money, they will drag you for a month or so and ask for a discount and finally pay half the amount. Sometimes i felt like a beggar.
