Is my complaint valid?

Can I file a complaint if my veterinarian will not treat my pet until I pay him? I had a disagreement with my veterinarian and now he/she will not see my pets. Is this ethical?

If I file a complaint, can I get my money back from the veterinarian? Or can I file a complaint because I think my veterinarian charges too much or keeps billing me for fees I owe?
