I also had an experience that, looking back in hindsight, I am certain I was very much ripped off, but when your dog is sick and not feeling well... you just want to do what they tell you, and don't ask questions (at least that's how I was).
I still can't believe what happened to Layla - you guys are such awesome pet parents though! You've given her a CHANCE and an amazing life, and it sounds like she's doing pretty great otherwise.
I'm glad she's pretty much back to normal.  |
Thank you so much!!! Actually today a new guy at work asked how my dog was (I came in yesterday to grab my laptop so I could work from home, and I told him the reason). I said she is much better, but we had an awful night that first night being awake to clean up after her constantly. He asked if she was old. I said not that old, but she's paraplegic so she can't feel anything going on in her back end. I think he is the first person I've told who didn't laugh. Most people around here think it's pathetic
Good thing she can't understand that!!
And I don't listen to those people anyway!
What you said is exactly how I have felt too. I just want to trust whatever they say because they're the ones with the training, and they should know how to make my dog better. And a part of me feels uncomfortable telling them I don't agree.
