I had the vet out last week.  She left $80 worth of medication and my total bill was $385.  So, she billed an hour of time for about $305.

 

For the vet, coming to do a ride is pretty much volunteering.

Spot on, Carolyn.  Someone told me that the vets for Oregon rides get $400.  After wartching the hours they work,  standing out in the sun, heat, dust, or dripping rain, I think they're probably underpaid.

 

I used to ride in a lot of bike races.  Many of them had corporate sponsors.   One of the best was sponsored by a large hospital.  They put on an amazing event - terrific food, huge prizes, a trip to Disneyland, for instance.  No vets.
