You would think so, but the amount of vets that charge big bucks for treating really sick rats that have poor quality of life and are going to die soon anyway, instead of advocating to PTS, you would be surprised. Also, you don't have to show a vet your reptile license when you take a reptile in for treatment. I assume many people who want to do things the sneaky way, would pretend it is their pet, and then it is up to them whether to try everything or PTS. I have seen a vet surgery save a cat that got run over and lost 3 of it's legs and large chunks of it's body, and it was just brought in by someone who found it. They raised money to cover their bill, by sending a photo of the poor thing around Facebook. Vets are only human too, and I am sure many of them like to save everything possible because they believe it is the right thing to do.
