I know this probably belongs in the yorkie brothers and sisters section but I just want everyone to be aware that these things happen. My sister took her teacup persian cat to the vet because Lucy had diarrhea. She had changed her food because she was itching and her hair on her belly was falling out but the new food gave her horrible diarrhea.
The vet examined her and said she thought it was food allergies, changed to special diet and sold her Revolution in case it was mites told her she would give her medication. They vet tech gave her a bottle of pills and she went home. This was at 9am yesterday and at 4pm the vets office called the vet tech (wth-they fill Rx?) called and said she had given my sister the wrong medication. Instead of diarrhea medication she had given her ringworm medication and hoped my sister hadn't given it to her but my sister gave the cat the medication as soon as she came home (who would wait that long to give an animal with diarrhea it's medication?)
My sister went back to the vets for the right medication and they asked her to give back the wrong med but she refused and told them to copy her records and that she will never comeback again. The vet came out and tried to tell her ACCIDENTS happen. My sister wanted to know how much medication she had given the cat and the vet replied, enough for a normal sized animal (duh! we are dealing with a full grown cat who weighs 6 pounds) So now she is looking for a new vet as she doesn't trust them any more.
Another problem is I take my two yorkies there. My daughter takes her Cavalier King Charles, my other daughter takes her two French Bulldogs there and my Mom takes her Golden there also. So I guess we are all looking for a new vet.
So be careful, check your babies medication and make sure someone with some knowledge of medication is filling the Rx.
