Actually, the OP's post is just heresay from the neice's mom, and if she's not in the field of medicine, sometimes vets only relay what they think is important to the person they're talking to, and how much that person will understand. I can't say how many times I've interupted a vet in the middle of a discussion to say "This person is in the health field" and they tone it up a bit and will discuss the more technical side of the treatment that has been done or he's planning to do on their pet.
The owner would have to request the records from the pet's file to see what was done and make a decision from there. |
