Vet problems...please help! I'm having a terrible time finding the right vet! This is a long story, but worth ready esp. for new owners. I took my furbaby Anniebelle to my local vet for her first vaccinations...I wasn't impressed as he treated her as a barn yard animal. The facility was very dated and he didn't take much time w/ the exam. For her next visit I took her to a vet I had taken a very sick pomeranian to a few yrs ago. This vet was wonderful w/ my pom, but is an hour and half away. While waiting for our appointment time...two hours late I might add, I was reading about dogs having reactions to vaccinations. When I took my precious baby in, they promptly took her into another area for treatment. I could hear her crying and screaming! I know how she is about things so I tried to keep a cool head, but after a few minutes of this I started for the door...it was locked of course. All seemed well other than her needing some vitamins. When I got home I noticed her eyes were beginning to swell ! I paged the vet ASAP! We gave her benadril as instructed, the swelling subsided soon after. However, she was so upset she wouldn't allow me to lay her down until 3:00 am! She seemed to be very tender and would cry when picked up. Now, nearly everytime she poops she yelps. I am going to have her spayed around the age of six months and would like to get her established w/ a good vet. I feel like I'm vet hoping and I really don't know what to do! Can anyone help me?? Am I over reacting? I feel they were a little too rough w/ her. I feel I made a bad call and I feel terrible about it. I live in a VERY rual area w/ few vet choices.
Thank you all for such a warm welcome for us! |
