My opinion...you need to feel confident and comfortable with your vet. You should be able to ask ANY question without snide remarks or looks. The last vet I had (I had for YEARS!) was awesome...however...one of his staff was HORRIBLE! If I asked a question I would either be ignored or she would get very snappy with me....he has had many complaints about her but, she has been with him for over 25 yrs and he will not get rid of her. I actually worked for him several years ago. I changed when I got Lillie, 3 yrs ago. I am SO happy with my new vet, she is young and is up on on the newest procedures and really cares for the animals...her entire staff is like that. No question is looked upon as stupid. They NEVER get snappy...You can really see and feel the love they have for ever animal that comes in. I was a little apprehensive about changing but glad I did..Maybe it's time for you to make a change. You need to feel comfortable with asking ANY question without being looked at like you are bothering them..JMO
