And with Ivan, I always get a Benedryl shot first, then we wait 15-20 min. in the lobby and then he gets whatever shot he is due. I'm very glad to hear Missy is feeling better.  |
I just switched to this vet from my old one. They both do vaccinations exactly the same way. This vet was trying to shove a deworming pill in Missy's mouth just prior to her vaccination too. I had to physically cover Missy's mouth with my hand to get her to stop so that I could question her about it. After I explained to her that my dogs do not walk on the ground outdoors (they are in a stroller or carried in my arms), she agreed that the deworming was not necessary. I'm getting really frustrated with vets. This one is a step up from my last one (whom was considered "best in my area for the past 7 yrs in a row", and I've also tried 3 other vets in my area in the past 2 yrs (with my pug dog). I'm really not sure what to do now. I am concerned about Dora's spay in April. My last vet almost lost Missy during her surgery.
