ATHENS, Georgia (AP) -- The University of Georgia's veterinary hospital treats thousands of horses, cats, dogs, birds, reptiles and other pets each year. But don't ask about them -- that's information for their owners only.
Hospital officials apply the same confidentiality rules for humans to their animal patients. That means no disclosure of medical conditions, no photos taken without an owner's consent.

I can't find the point in this... |
| | | | Why would you ask about other peoples animals anyway ? Youd have to be one creepy person to care. |
| | | Well it makes sense, rich pet owners would be an easy target for pet kidnappers to demand ransom.
I mean, we even heard stories about how an old lady inheret her entire house to a cat! |
| | | | Yea, I think you're right. That's a very good reason why. Although, it's still crazy. I mean.....yea. Dogs with confidential medical reports? Who the hell cares? |
| | | | LOL, What in the world would the cat do with all that inheritance, she was probably insane lol. |
