I don’t think the mods realized you are a female. May want to tell em so they can change your name to pink.

To the OP, Vets look out for themselves and the critters not you. I don’t agree with it, just the way it is. I’d call them and see where I told em they could do all that on my dog. Large Animal vets are a little different at times. Most time they look at the farmers best interest, may tell you the animal isn’t worth spending the money on. I farm for a living and only use a vet to semen test, and pregnancy check. I do all my own stuff rest of time. I don’t do much pregnancy checking anymore, I have started pulling blood and mailing it off the last few years.
