Removing staples may be easy but a couple of Ellie's got twisted and I heard her screaming. I think the tech did it but I'm not sure the vet could've prevented the pain. That is why I put that on the list.
Maybe I should have the vet draw blood everytime then.
Techs seem to bruise Ellie easily because she wiggles but the vet did a nice job, so I am thinking maybe she should do it all the time.
