It's funny, my vet is "SUPPOSED" to be the best vet in town.....go figure

I'll be doing my own research on that one, too. You better believe I will be looking for a new vet. I am just wondering if it is a "common thing" for vets to be this way?

It's really a shame...
I agree that she needs SOMETHING...I have to give her something when she is in pain...I can't just let her lay there and suffer...but my vet should have KNOWN BETTER. To give her a mediciation that shouldn't even be given to dogs her size just TICKS me off to no end.
