No, it's all confusing because the vet who did her spay (yes without telling me about the high ALT!!) was the vet the breeder used for tail/dew claws....that vet missed a tiny bit of one of her front dew claws, so he re-did that part for free. In retrospect, I guess I shouldn't have trusted her with someone who didn't do the job the first time around (with the dew claw)?!

Thank you for that! I couldn't agree more! I normally don't leave her (and I won't be in between draws tomorrow), but I just thought if they could just do it all at once within a couple of hourse, that would be really nice, especially since I had to work today. (I'm also mad because I wanted them to do the cysto for the urinalysis, and even wrote it AGAIN on her paperwork when I dropped her off, partly because it's impossible to catch because she cuts it off midstream when you try and partly because it's more accurate, but when I finally called them 2.5 hrs after I had dropped her off, they were still waiting to get a sample because they wanted to try that first! I told them again that I wanted them to just do the cysto, and another 2.5 hrst later they called to say they were finished and I could come get her!! That really upset me......5 hrs for what should have taken them 5 min! I was going to have her BAT repeated right after they analyzed the urinalysis if it was normal, but I didn't fast her this morning since Dr. Center says you don't have to. I figured she wouldn't have the test until about 3-4 hrs after she'd eaten anyway, but they weren't satisfied with that.....I have to go back tomorrow with her fasted for 12 hrs. Oh well. Just wish they'd told me that before I brought her today.)
