Are Vets just out to make money and are they not able to think outside the box?;

I ask this because I have a Yorkshire Terrior who I have been taking to my local Vets for the last few months with an ear problem and they did not solve it. In fact it got worse. So I decided to get an opinion from another Vetenery and well thet all seemed to come to the same conclusion that the blockage has gone to for and he will need a TACO-BO operation :( . I find this scandalas and primitive. I do not see why he could not be put to sleep and the cunk taken out. Instead they are going to put him to sleep and cut off his ears :( . It makes no sense. I tried to get them to see was there another way but as far as I could see they are not arsed thinking outside the box or trying to come up with new better methods of doing things. Its all about ripping the pet owner off :(

It's a disgrace.
