Anyway he asked me to peek out the door where Jamie couldn't see me. And it seems that Mr. Hollywood (aka Jamie) acts like the vet is just KILLING him in front of me but is nothing but licks and kisses when I'm not in his eyesight.
However there are alot of other bad things about your vets office that would make me wanna change. Ashley, our tech, knows as much about Jamie as our vet. They would never ask me what they were doing on this appointment. They always know because Ashley calls me the day before to confirm the appointment. So maybe you should just call around and talk to several vet's about their policies and make sure that you're comfortable with who's taking care of your baby. |
Thats just too much! He plays it up when you are watching, but behaves when you aren't there. That could also be why I didn't hear her cry when they gave her the shot, but unfortunately Duke is the total opposite, if I am not there he freaks out, ever since the nail cutting incident he is terrified of seeing the vet.
Yeah, I was dumbfounded when she didn't know what shot she was on, another thing, last time I forgot to take her shot record with me from the breeder, and they said it was ok and to bring it next time, so I made sure to have it today and no one asked to see it...
