This topic hits home with me at the moment. My little dachshund (first born son) is 13 and recently developed a constant cough. We took him to a new vet (we moved) and they gave him antibiotics for light infection. Never x-rayed or anything, but gladly gave us a bill for $75. It went on for about a week and never got better, but it did get worse. So, we took him to our old vet (1 hour away). The old vet sold out recently, but one of the vets working there was still there and had treated the dog many times. She x-rayed him and diagnosed with severe fluid buildup around the heart. She couldn't hear well enough to check for a heart murmur.
Anyways to make a long story short, after we were finished the wife went to the front counter for the bill. The secretary demanded over a $300 bill be paid right then and just kept going on about purchasing heartworm pills. Heck, heartworms are the least of my worries right now (vet said so also). This is an office I used for several years and have charged thousands of dollars to and always paid it off in a timely manner. Who has $500-$1000 just laying around to spend on a quick pet illness?? I went ballistic on them. Then they wanted me to leave blank checks for them to fill out every week for progress payments. I don't think so!!!! They have a really good vet there that treated my dachshund and brought him back from near death in the past (anemia), but the new ownership (head vet) is all about the money. I wrote them a nasty email stating how I was not amused at being treated like someone who wasn't responsible enough to pay my debt and how I had been a good paying long time customer. Needless to say, I am on the lookout for a new good vet for my animals. This vet is going to lose my pet and cattle business!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
