[QUOTE=ladyjane;3545590]When you called, did the person you spoke with put you on hold and talk with the vet or did he/she just sputter that nonsense about taking the med every other day?? Does the vet know that your pup may have had a seizure?




If your pup seized from Metro, the drug needs to be stopped and the dog needs to be assessed by a licensed veterinarian. If the seizure was caused by something else, then the dog needs to be examined by a licensed veterinarian. And we don't even have absolutely certainly that it was a seizure by the description.

Unfortunately, even amazing vets can have terrible office staff and they may not know what is going on up front. It's impossible to monitor everything their front desk staff is doing. And if this was a tech, well, they aren't qualified to give this kind of advice. And if it was a tech relaying the info to a vet, I've seen that get mixed up or whatever a time or two or three... You and the vet need to talk if you haven't already. If the vet gave you the above advice, then it's time to find a new one quickly.
