I do trust the vet, but I’d be a lot happier if we weren’t still in the middle of a pandemic so I could talk to her again. Even scheduling the bloodwork was nerve-wracking, because the employee I first talked to about the scheduling insisted Jax was too young to need pre-surgery bloodwork for such a simple procedure. I had to talk to three different people before the nurse finally looked in his file and said, yes, I was correct, the vet had written down that she recommended the bloodwork because of his size. Not that I blame anyone for the mix up; they were only going by normal procedure. But I think everything would be less stressful without the pandemic procedures.
