| I am so irritated!!
The Vet looked at what I printed out and folded it up and laughed and said "this is what happens when people go on the internet and try to do self diagnosis. There is NO such thing as 'leather ear'".
She didnt even LOOK at the stuff I printed out. It made me so angry. Then she told me I shouldnt have cleaned Lexi's ears out, cause even though she couldnt get me in for almost a week, it killed the mites in her ear. I guess I was just supposed to let the baby suffer and take the chance on Chico and Roxy getting them. 
She told me Lexi's ears look normal, and I dont think that they do. I have seen LOTS of Yorkie ears, and I have had problems with Chihuahua and Yorkie ears in the past, and I know what a healthy ear looks like.
She insisted it must be the mites that made her ear like that... after she insisted that she wouldnt find any mite reminants, and then found the head and feelers of one, although dead, it was proof they were there.
I still dont think that the mites could have made her ears this black and gunky all around the edges of the ear and made her lose her hair on the back, but I could be wrong about that, and I can admit that. Depending on how long she has had them and they were untreated. I dont think the woman who had her ever treated her for anything.
I am still going to do the Lotrimin tho, and I am also going to use the Revolution for her on her to get rid of the mites and everything else. She was microchipped and I have to get the info done... (at least the lady didnt lie about that)
The vet also insisted that Lexi was at least 3 years old, which I dont believe because she said that with how bad her teeth are, there is no way that she is a year old. Her teeth are much better than Roxy's and I KNOW 1. that woman didnt not cut her nails, but cleaned her teeth. 2. Roxy's teeth are cleaned regularly, she IS 3, and she has bad teeth, way worse than Lexi's and I know Roxy is 3. I am pretty sure that Lexi is about a year, her teeth are still white, straight, and look pretty good.
I knew that I shouldnt have trusted this lady whenever I told her Lexi was a year and 4 months and she insisted that would have made her born in July of 08. Somebody obviously can not count. 
She didnt listen to me at all, and even contradicted me about saying the lady who had her didnt know how to care for her, almost sticking up for her like they were old friends that go way back. She doesnt know this woman from Jack. I finally said, well, I guess her nails growing so long theyre practically growing into her pads is a sign of a responsible owner then.
I AM SO MAD. After Lexi gets her shots, I wont be going back. Had I not already paid for them, Id be going somewhere else.
She had the gall to ask me if I wanted to get her fixed... I said yes, but not here. |
