| Am I wrong? My little foster girl who is 8 had her spay and dental today, actually let me back up, my former foster girl, she is now ours, my DH failed fostering. Well the vet called and said they had some complications, they could not get her into a deep state of anesthesia and everytime they tried to give her more her heartrate dropped. She was in such a light state of anesthesia she overrode the breathing machine and was breathing on her own. They did not clean her teeth as well as they would have liked because they just wanted to get out and wake her up, she had her spay and this is the part that makes me very angry, they said because of the light plain she was on they do not know how much of her spay she felt, she was not out enough to have not felt anything, so why would they not have opted to forgo the spayu, it was not a lifesaving operation, she could have survived without being spayed. I am fuming mad that she felt them cutting into her and taking parts out.... They sent her home with the strongest narcotic they have bu something, I have to squirt it on her gums as that is how it is absorbed, then they are sending tobegesicf as well so incase the heavy narcotic does not help her I have to give her this stuff too, they are just concerned about pain management because of the way she reacted to the anesthetic they are not sure the pain meds will be as effective as they should be. She also had 7 teeth pulled and may need her 2 bottom canines pulled in time, but again she was not sure and just wanted to get out and wake her up. Then they charged me 400.00 for the pleasure of torturing my baby girl. I was not going to pay the bill but they would not give me the dog or her meds until i did. I am filing a complaint with the veterinary board frist thing Monday. Am I wrong for being mad and thinking they should have opted to forgo the spay?

| I would be angry as well, they should have consulted you before they went forward with anything once they realized they were having any sort of problem.

| No you are not wrong. That is unacceptable what they did. I feel for you and your baby. We had a similar experience with our cat and the spaying. They did not tell us they tortured her. Her personality completely changed after being spayed. She hates everyone now and is a horrible miserable animal. She is now 14 years old. They didn't even send her home with pain medicine! I'm sorry you and your baby went through that. I would definitely file a complaint with anybody and everybody who is relavent. They should get their licenses revoked forever. I hope that vet clinic shuts down. That's awful!

| This vet should have her licensed pulled. I do hope you file the complaint. This was just plain cruel and they should have contacted you before doing anything else. I hope she recovers quickly and has no side effects from this trauma.

| Completely unacceptable. Report them, but know that they won't get their license taken away. They will probably get a warning and a mark against them at most (lack of good moral character type thing). If they were using Iso, they should have stopped immediately and recommended that at least you take your pup to somebody who could use Sevo (or vice versa) or better yet, gotten her to a specialty hospital with a veterinary anesthesiologist on staff. It was cruel and inhumane. I would have no problems writing reviews about it on vet review sites. Even when a pup is resisting a simple dental mouth exam here, they get put further under. Absoultely ridiculous to make an animal feel a spay.

| Disgusting. Your poor little girl. I hope the pain meds will at least keep her comfortable while she recovers. I would definitely report them (even if it won't do any good - it can't hurt), and I'm sure needless to say, but I'd find a new vet ASAP.

| I would be furious! How awful for them to go ahead and do it! And admit that did not know how of the pain she felt!!! I don't think I would ever be back. And yes, I would report it! On another note, I hope this poor baby is feeling better soon.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | That's so horrible for your baby to have to go through. I would be furious and if your vet isn't the owner of the clinic, report it to them also.

| That is sooo terrible and unethical. I would be fuming, and would have no problem complaining and filing some sort of complaint. I am sorry you and your baby had to go through this.
