My vet & techs know I am a nurse, so that may be why they have never given me any issues about being in the room for any procedures, but the only time they remove him is to get his stool or urine specimen. They have collected the stool in front of me before, too. Last time I went for labs, I held him while the tech stuck, but she missed & then took him to the back for another tech to stick. I was OK with that, because I know sticking kiddos with parents in the room can be nerve-racking, too. If I had a problem with them removing him, I would speak up & even if they weren't happy about it, I'm sure they would comply. That is my right as the owner, I think. When I had my last dog put to sleep (same vet) I held him in my lap while they injected him. (They didn't charge me, either, as long-standing customer courtesy) |
