Oh I got everyone's point entirely but agree with the vet. He wasn't sick at the time of surgery I was just treating him like a baby not a dog. I was thinking it would be easier to push out the surgery but it wasn't necessary to do that.
Also appreciate the vet who has had a tiny yorkie telling me not to treat them any different than any other dog. They are smaller but still a dog. I asked for pain meds and he felt baby aspirin was appropriate. If it's not protocol to give pain meds who are we to question years worth of schooling and surgery on hundreds of animals. Sons dog that had surgery last week to remove a squeaker toy from his intestines didn't go home with pain meds either. Maybe they don't believe in over medicating?
Do we question our drs with ourselves or our children? I don't...I trust they are skilled at their job way more than I would be trying to do their job.
What I'm defending is that I trust my vet. He's never done anything for me to distrust him. I'm hoping the vet has his best interest in heart well as I do.
