| Why Do They Lie??? Everyone Read... I wanted those of U with 1 Vet with 2 offices to read this and be aware of what could happen. I didn't post yesterday cause I was so mad I might have said some potty words. See I have ALWAYS take my babies to the Vet in the next town (Brownstown) to the town we live in (Seymour), didn't even know they had a another office here in my town until I called to make Tiffanie her app. for her X-ray, well Brownstown said we have an office in Seymour would U like to take her there I thought oh good that's nice to know that way if Tiffanie has trouble with this litter it's a lot closer then running her to Brownstown and maybe loosing her or the babies, so I said sure, well the biggest mistake of my life!!! Keep in mind that my babies (Even other animals I've owned) have been going to the B'Town vet for like 6 years...My dad got me going there from when he raised pigs, cows and begals. Well on Friday they ask me when I called for app. if I wanted an x-ray? I said only if the vet says so, they ask me this 3 times, should of known then something wasn't right, all 3 times my answer was the same. Tiffanie's on day 54 yesterday of our pregnancy, I took her and we got in there to see the Vet and it was a NEW one, not the older one. Well that upset me, they weighed her, anyways the tech filled out her papers, I seen xray on her chart ONLY, no vet visit, I ask if the vet was going to see her she said NO just xray, well here we go, I said I told U friday I wanted the vet to see her and then if he said xray then we'd do one. So she asked me when they mated, what food she was on and that was it, didn't even look @ Tiffanie NO temp (B'Town ALWAYS no MATTER what baby I take there 1st thing take their temp!) nothing, she walks out and says the vet will be in soon, I told my 11.5 & 8.5 year old she didn't even take her temp. (They see me take Tiffy's) maybe the vet will I said, so in she comes, Tif is setting up her big ol' belly hanging on the table and the vet felt her belly right there with her setting up and said yep she's having puppies I thought U think!! So she says what can we do for U today? I said I would like to know how many babies we're gonna have & if U think she can have them okay. She didn't even feel Tiffs belly then and said oh I can't tell U without an xray...(B'Town last time litter Vet didn't do xray, was 100% honest with me, said he couldn't read the ultrasound good and xray might miss one, felt her belly and said 3 to 4 and she had 4, and that was on sat and she had them that following thru.!!) I said okay then do one. I said I wanted to get a photo of her xray but forgot my camera can I come back a little later and get one she said U want to go get it while we xray her? I said no I won't leave her. She started to pick up Tiff and walk out I ask can I take her she said NO oh man made me mad!!!!!!!! Here my baby is so big with babies, doesn't know ANYONE there and I'm trying to keep her CALM and not go into labor and she WON'T let me take her back there. So I kept my peace (Had to my 2 real human babies was there with me) She brought her back to me, said it would be a few minutes on the xray, I told my real girls see where would Tiff been if I'd ran to the house and got our camera? It didn't take her no time to take the xray. Well she came in and said 6 maybe 7 puppies I was tickled pink, she put them on the light so we could see, let me tell U girls we couldn't tell behinds from heads and NO backbones @ all, we could barely see the outline of them, so I'm thinking how can U tell how many? 2 on her right side, 4 on her left so she says!! Vet ask me about taking the photo, I told her what I told the Tech. I don't think they would of showed up really they was so light even with the lights in the room turned off. Well I ask her to listen to the babies heartbeats so I could hear and know what to hear for, she stuck her stesacope (Spelling there) on Tiff's belly with her setting up and looked at me and said sorry I can't hear anything but her belly grawling, Oh I was HOT! Keep my BIG mouth shut. & her stesacope was a heck of a lot more expensive then mine and I know she could of heard more then what I hear if she'd maybe moved the thing around or laid Tiffy on her back! Well I ask her if they would live if she didn't have them before day 58 she said 10 more days, I said for what??? She said she needs to keep them in 10 more days...I said okay, I ask her again she said well I don't know........She's not gonna have them within the next 24 hours (U think! I KNOW THAT!!!!!!!) for her milk glands aren't even filled out yet and all puppies are laying face up except for one is face down...OH MAN WAS I STEAMING BY THIS POINT!!!! I said U don't know, she said NO...I just said well okay. Still NO temp done. The Tech gave me my papers they fill out of what is done to Tiff in the exam...So well to be truthful with U I thought she was gonna have 6 to 8 puppies anyways, so what was the point in going and more less getting nothing done. Well I got out in the waiting room and she said that will be $111.00 I thought okay for what didn't say that tho!! She said okay when she has the puppies I'll go ahead and make her an app for then I said NO she'll be going to B'Town, okay she said, what do U want to do with the xrays? I said SEND them to B'TOWN!! I already knew I wasn't bringing her back here to this office UNLESS I HAD TO!! I got her some Nutrical and came home, well we got home, got Tiff in the house and back to normal and I got the exam report card out and oh man that did it!!!!!!! THEY LIED ON IT!!!!!!Really they did, below is the report and what they SAID they checked! Coat and skin: Normal, NEVER EVEN LOOKED @ EITHER ONE!! Eyes: Normal, NEVER EVEN LOOKED @ EITHER ONE!! Ears: Normal, NEVER EVEN, NEVER EVEN LOOKED @ EITHER ONE!! Nose & Throat: Normal, NEVER EVEN LOOKED @ EITHER ONE!! Mouth, Teeth & Gums: Normal, NEVER EVEN OPENED HER MOUTH!! Musculoskeletal: X-ray normal, I don't even have a clue about that one!!!!! Abdomen: Normal, oh yeah really now, she only felt once and that was it!!! Lungs: Normal, Didn't even listen to them!!! Gastrointestinal System: Normal, She must of got that from the grawling of her belly when she listened for the heartbeat!!!! Diet: Good well yeah I'm feeding her!! Well the more I looked @ this paper and thought about how she got treated in there the madder I got. Well by this time that same Seymour vet's office called me back and ask are U going to come take photos of the xray? I said LADY I told U NO!!! Well are U coming back here? I said NO not unless there's an emergency, well U do know if there is an emergency after hours then U'll have to take her to B'Town, I said REALLY well Imagian that!!!!! So what do U want us to do with her xrays? I said send the DAMN (Excuse my french there, but shoot enoughs enough!!!) things to Brownstown! I hung up, took a few breaths and called B'Town Vet's Offiece by this time I was hot to trot!!!!!!!! U know my Yorkies are like my human kids, mess with me fine but NOT my KIDS, Human or Yorkies!!!!!!! Well I told the rec. my story and she said hang on I'll let U talk to the Co/Owner...I thought good, I explained EVERYTHING to him, he was so kind, sweet and nice. We talked for 28 minutes!!!!! Well he ask if I could see backbones on the xray, I said NO he ask what day Tiff was in her pregnancy I told him 54, he said well I don't do xray until day 58 then U can tell more of how many puppies are there. He said I shouldn't of paid for what wasn't done, I said U know it's not the money it's the honesty I want and the kindness. I told him about her not knowing about the puppies making it before day 58 and he said he wants them to stay in her until day 60...Said he had a lady who came to his office Friday with a Yorkie and demanded a cecerian (Spelling there), Yorkie was on day 58 and temp 99.7 and he refused her and told her to bring her in Monday for one that he felt safer doing it @ day 60 that the puppies would have more of a chance to make it, well he said she never showed or called. He told me not to let Tiff go 2 hours with contractions without a pup and how to feather her if she shuts down with contrations to get them going again, how to get a puppy a breech puppy out, how to help her if one gets stuck. He said he the only problem he sees is Tiff getting to tired to finish having out babies, and he said don't be suprised to see her have 8 Also said have puppy milk on hand because with that many I would more then likely have a runt or 2, also said not be suprised if one didn't make it, I said don't SAY THAT, he said well I just want U to know! I felt so much better talking to him, now why couldn't that other vet been like this? He said he would get to the bottom of it and call me back. I know this is a long post but please just be careful where or which vet's office U take U're babies too ANYTHING could happen! Hope this may help someone. Hugs, Lee & Babies |

| WOW What an experience. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It's hard enough to worry about our kids without incompetent people taking care of them. You are supposed to feel safe and relieved when you are at the vet, not uptight and angry. I'm glad you got it resolved to your satisfaction and the co/owner will take care of it. Good luck to your mama, and keep us posted on her progress.
