......out of my sight to do a procedure, such as an injection or skin scraping, etc.
It makes me very uncomfortable. I really like my vet, but I'm the one in charge of my baby and I want to see what is being done to her and who is doing it.

Took her for her yearly check up and they did it and then took her to the dermatologist and they wanted to do it as will. Explained to the derm doc that I did not know him, and he was not taking my dog out of my sight. He said it was to give her an antibiotic injection - I said fine do it here in front of me. He hesitated and he and his nurse gave the injection.

Afterwards he rather snidely asked what would I have done if I had not liked what they were doing -- I just looked at him straight in the eye.....
I think he got the message.

Interesting to hear others take on this. I understand sterile procedures, or if a pup does not cooperate, but what is the big secret here. I would not have let them take my child out of my sight either.
