oh yea upsetting for sure I took my little guy up one day cause he was having some troubles in his rearend area since it was a somewhat emergency we didn't see his reg vet we saw the older man who yes is very good he is well known around here he decided to just do his last set of shots since I did have an appt for the following tuesday well the second the first needle went in he screamed and I do mean screamed I was shaking by the time it was all done he emptied his anal sacs after the shots were done they weren't too bad the vet kept trying to reassure me he was fine well then came the time for my little lady to got for her first set I made sure I saw Jamie our reg vet took care of her thank goodness she said moochie's ordeal may have been due to a few things the needles may have been too big he could have hit a small nerve etc well then it came time for my little tuffie to go for her last set of shots i nearly hit the floor when I went in the room and the tech said dr dave was coming in Jamie was in the middle of an emergency and right behind her was dr dave my first instincts were to just say ummmm no and leave but I didn't want to be rude but I didn't want her to be traumatized the same so before he started first i insited I hold her instead of the tech and I gave her some of the treats they have for that reason with moochie he didn't get any so it did go well he gave her one in her butt and the other 2 in her shoulder areas and she only cried a little with the last shot so my faith in dr dave was restored that makes me feel better but when he was screaming the way he did it just cut right through me I wish all vets could be good and our little lovelies should be treated the same the the vets would want to be treated just as they would for a "person" it makes me wonder if any vets have ever been sued for malpractice I would think they have been some |
