In 2013, our veterinary practice I owner at the time graduated I with a nonveterinary advanced degree and was doing a lot of public speaking, our part-time doctor was growing her client base and we were seeing good year-over-year growth. Then, in thespan of a few months in 2015, our practice owner took a job in industry and put the practice up for sale. Then, we found out that the practice owner was getting divorced and that his ex-wife (also a veterinarian) would take over the business until it sold, although she wouldn't be seeing patients.

And the new boss had owned an equine practice but had never practiced small-animal medicine or managed a small-animal hospital.Little did any of us know we'd be in this difficult holding pattern for almost three years.
