Glad to hear Bijou is home and doing well. You have a tough few weeks ahead of you with lots of cage rest and TLC. I'm sorry the vet and other guy were rude to you. I was gonna say that maybe yesterday she was rude because she had a very busy day ahead of her and she was anxious. Seeing that Bijou's surgery wasn't until 5pm the vet probably did at least 4-5 other surgeries before her. who knows. but with the rudeness today i have no excuses for you.
it is typical that the vet doesn't see you upon pick up. Did a tech talk to you about recovery tho? That's what i used to do. The surgeons were in surgery so when people came to pick up their pets the surgery techs would go down and speak with the owners first and go over all the aftercare instructions again (the vet goes over them on the phone before hand) becuase its a lot of take in. Then the tech brings you your pet. That kind of hospital is tough to work in...after 2 1/2 years i had to quit. i couldn't take the stress anymore. I'm not defending the hospital personnel tho. whatever stress you have, rudeness should never be directed toward a client or pet.
hopefully the vet will be nicer to you at your recheck appt. i'm surprised the surgeon is letting you go back to your regular vet for suture removal because the surgeon should look at the leg 2 weeks post op to make sure everything is healing the way it should. Regular vets are great and all but the surgeon knows her stuff. where i worked this would never be allowed.
