I still go to them just not for the tails or dewclaws.
I did that visit have to tell the vet how long to dock it. I know they aren't versed in the breed standards, different breeds are docked to different lengths. They wanted to cut it too short but I was told what length to do it by so I told the vet and they had no problem with it.
It was just the method they used was so wrong. And the problem was I checked all the vets around here, they all did the same thing. |
I guess I'm pretty lucky, as my mentor's vet became my vet. He was working for her original vet when he graduated vet school. But, she took a litter to have dew claws and tails docked. Her original vet wasn't there, so our now vet did the procedure (mind you his procedure is perfect, he knows the ins and outs on causing minimal stress and fuss). But, he docked the tails too short. My mentor complained to her original vet. His words: Now we didn't go to vet school to learn how to dock tails on each breed. So, if your going to B**** about it it's time to teach you how. When I came along a few years later, she and our now vet both instructed me. Assisted in 5 or 6 litters, before they allowed me to do it.
