My girlfriend is a vet and she will admit that what you say is true. At the very least they can do an x-ray and look for things like an impaction. I wouldn't expect them to be able to give very decisive answers on internal medical issues unless they feel like taking the case on as a personal challenge. They do have access to papers that we may find a little difficult to get a hold of where treatments for issues were successful.
I have fish too so I know that when it comes to exotics we have to be our own vets and that should start and end with husbandry.
Be very careful with your vet choice. Most of them know nothing about varanids.
I took one to the vet, he looked up Savannah Monitors on the internet while we were driving there, needless to say he did a "checkup" DUH not real effective when it's the first big lizard you have ever seen)
He prescribed baytril and called it RI, when in fact it was kydney distress, and my lizard died.
This is why it's so important to keep them right, their own bio immunity system is kickass, as long as the animal has proper support.
Genius Kidney problems and baytril in a reptile...
I think she really wants to kill my camera. I use electrical tape to stabilize the mini tripod, She ripped the tape right off as she tried to drag the camera into her burrow.

No Rob, she has not bitten me in at least a week. The last time, she did very similar to the camera clip, clamped down on my thumb and tried pulling me into the enclosure.
