Vet error! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

seen the wrong stuff go out many times...expecially near closing time when a lot of walk- ins show up for life and death problems....everybody is rushed. Have received Gentocin otic for ears instead of optic for eyes.

thank goodness I know the difference and caught it fast.

I urge everyone to be aware of what medications are called and what they are used for...

the internet is wonderful for this......a little education goes a long way...go to a good veterinary website and read up on stuff.....

Accidents happen but if you are unhappy with your vet for something else, then I would leave.

At Ellie's vet office only vets fill prescription which I really like. Most techs are great but a couple in her vet office in particular really "concern"

me. They just don't seem to be "in there".

I'd want to know that they were very sorry for what happened though.

a good tip:

if you get medication from your vet make sure they go over it with you at the time they give it to you. if there is something wrong with it they will usually catch it if they are looking at it and reading the directions to you. I always make sure to show the clients the pill bottle and the instructions, plus i tell them exactly what it is so there is no confusion.

I am 5' 2" also, but a little wide in the girth.
Would I be considered a teacup/teapot?
