The usual arrangement for an LBO is to saddle the bought company, the vet in this example, with the debt,or spin off a secondary company from the vet with the poorest assets and most to all of the debt. It's all a scummy business.

Then why is everyone complaining "my vet sucks now" and not "my vet went out of business"?
Because the vet does suck now, and yet is still profitable because there's not enough competition.
