I was insulted... I took my baby to my vet's today for a check up because she is still having constipation problems and the new young vet tech asked me a bunch of questions which I answered truthfully. Most likely because the vet wants some idea of the reason for the visit. She then said "well, I've never taken an interest in yorkies; they have bad knees". I felt insulted. I didn't think her comment was even necessary and it certainly was not professional. I don't care for pit bulls either but I would not insult someone who does. Sorry I had to vent. |
That was so unprofessional. I'd go to another vet. |
I agree with you. Not only was it unneccesary, it made her sound ignorant. She needs to learn to keep her personal opinions to herself. |
I would let the vet know what the tech said and that it was NOT appreciated |
And I've never taken an interest in stupid people, because they have no common sense! Man, if only we had time to think of the perfect thing to say to such rude people. |
that was rude! try not to let it get to you. i do wonder how common it is for yorkies to have bad knees? my vet told me to keep an eye on the way milu walks, because he also said that little breeds tend to have problems with their knees. so, if it's true that it's common for yorkies to have knee problems, then the young vet is just stating a statement + her opinion. i think maybe you can tell her that it's not nice to tell owners that. so that she will understand and not do it in the future. since you said she is young, and i think maybe someone can let her know that it's inappropriate to say that. |
Tammy, you said it perfectly!!!!!!!!! Paula:p Halle:aimeeyork Brutis:aimeeyork |

That was totally uncalled for and inappropriate. I wouldn't punish the vet though, for something his tech said.... but I would let the vet know. People who deal with the public really need to think before they speak! |
I agree..if you're happy with the vet, I wouldn't leave, BUT I would most definitely let him/her know that you don't appreciate unsolicited opinions from the tech. Anyway, what she believes isn't even true. Not all yorkies have bad knees. *just shakes head* |

You were nicer than I would have been!! Time to find a new vet...since she has no interest in Yorkies!:thumbdown Thank goodness she is not a doctor...I have bad knees too! She obviously does not have an interest in people either! |
Oh it wasn't the vet who said that, it was his employee. He is a great vet and I have been going there for years. The more I think about it I plan on mentioning it to him next time I see him. I don't think she realized how she came across and like I said she is new and very young. However, how she treats his clientele reflects on him so he should probably be made aware of it. Also, I am a bit biased as I just adore my first two little yorkies. Thanks for listening. |
