Yes, we do have to take our pets to the vet for unpleasant procedures but it is a good idea to have some idea just how caring the business you are dealing with is.
Just as in human healthcare there are good providers and some that are not so good there are some veterinarian clinics that seem not to care about how their treatment effects the emotional well being of the animal.
Several years ago I had a happy healthy little Maltese female that loved gong places until I took her to a vet that cared nothing about how the animals were treated before and after a procedure. I won't go into detail but many people complained about their pets reactions after having to stay at that clinic.
My Maltese would start to shiver every time we turned onto the road that the vet clinic was on, even after we stopped going there. These animals are smarter than some give them credit for. My little girl remembered for the rest of her life what happened to her there. She had no problem with her next vet.
The OP did nothing wrong. I am just saying that it is good to pay attention and even do a little investigating when choosing a veterinarian. They are not all the same. |
