    In my opinion, the USDA Animal Welfare Regulations Licensing Rule Section 3.13 issued on November 9, 2020, has been called into question under LSU Small Animal School of Veterinary Medicine. This regulation is now called into awareness of service animals and holds veterinarians to a higher standard of care. My service companion of 11 years plus, Mystic, arrived bleeding from an incurable cancerous tumor. They were to guide us on whether any options were available because surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy were a slim chance. They knew she was bleeding from the tumor site for two weeks. They knew she had an incision as visited three different clinics within a month and blood clotting medications were used up, needing refills. They were honest about her tumor falling out on their x-ray table, but said partially only of a softball size that went flat in a few hours? She only went for the x-ray and biopsy using the fallen tumor that was completely necrotic. We were sent out the door, improperly bandaged by the physician, bleeding a trail out the door of their school to the handicapped parking. We immediately rewrapped and an hour after leaving home out of state, realized that when her pain medication and bleeding medication were due noticed no blood clotting medication was present. They tried to say it was the innocent student's fault. The doctor said she would do it. Then she went on to say to recheck a hemorrhaging animal to suffer another 4-6 weeks. For what purpose? We asked about euthanasia, and quality of life all unanswered but were options and that everything was a big misunderstanding. But they know how to bill excellently to make sure they recoup and non-negotiating. Can't please everyone is the philosophy.
