A special note to the op...My thoughts and prayers are with you. Shame on the people on here to be so rude to you. They don't get it! Not that I wish them to have to deal with this, by you only would get it if they were in your place. I can't believe what the vet has done to your family and my heart is with you. I hope in taking a few days away from here that you all are well. again SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE RUDE! Get a clue, she wasn't "Killing her dog. " SHe was told there was nothing for her to do. Man, I have to say some of you on here are WAY TOO JUDGEMENTAL!

I never thought I could do it...But I held my little Lea last Feb while they put her to sleep .She was only 18 months and broke her neck in a fall
I just couldnt leave her to die on her own.
And it was horrible.
But something I had to do. After reading this I am even more glad I made myself do this.

I do think it was a blessing that the other vet came in and was able to tell that she didnt need to be put to sleep. I wouldnt be angry at him.
I wouldnt have liked my baby being kept there for 5 hours without me knowing whats going on. But what a blessing that she is now home with you.
Let the anger go...and enjoy your baby
Hope she is on her way to feeling better

I don't know if they waited to put the ones who were suffering down or not. I can honestly say I wasn't aware of it if they did.

How do we know the vet wasn't in emergency surgery trying to save the life of another dog? The OP said herself the dog is fine now. I am sure the vets could tell she was not suffering.

Even human doctors have to let people suffer for hours on end while they are waiting in the ER at some of these big county hospitals. The stories my daughter has told me about what goes on there just shocks me.

Like I said before, I am just thankful Stormy is alive and I pray she gets any medical attention she might still need.

JeanieK · 03-24-2009, 11:41 AM

I am very confsed. I went back and read as far back on the OP's post as I could, but did not get the beginniung.

The first thread I found is where the dog got into the nair, and the OP said something about the dogs owners.

Are you not the owner? Where did the dog come from?

Also from the posts I have read she has made comments about this dog not living too long and vet telling her to put the dog down etc. right from the beginning.

Something just does not seem right.

They put the pet and family into an exam room and when the family is ready the vet takes care of the pet right away. That room can not be used till the family/owner leaves. We had people stay in the a room anywhere from min to two hours. Any time the family stayed it was only done by appointment so we would have a room open and things could be done in a professional, timely manner.

I hope you are not talking about me. I'm just stating the way things were done where I worked at the time.

That could be true. On the other hand, maybe it's not. You can't be any surer of what happened than anyone else.

The OP is a member of YT, not her vet. It is up to us to support HER, care for HER and help HER the way she has supported and cared for us.

Are you posting to help her and Stormy, or her vet? Because honestly, it sounds like you are here for her vet and I don't understand that.

JPop & Taz 2 · 03-24-2009, 11:57 AM

Things happen for a reason......love that little girl with all your heart; it was not her time to go. She's where she is supposed to be.

roxies_mom · 03-24-2009, 11:58 AM

OK here's the way I understood this to be. The first vet told her there was nothing else he could do for Stormy that she was dying. If he really felt this way, why after she left thinking her dog would be put down did he call in a 2nd vet? Why didn't he call in a 2nd vet before convincing her that there was nothing else that could be done? Then why did the 2nd vet decide he wanted to keep her dog and get it well instead of discussing some options with her? Explaining to her what he thought might be wrong and what it might cost? It really sounds like all of this was handled very badly on both vets parts. Does anyone else understand it the way I do? I feel awful for Stormy and her family.

I think putting her in a cage for 5 hours was wrong of the vet she took her dog to.
But as we hear from the gal who's worked for a vet.They DO this.
I for one am glad she told us about the practice of doing it when they have the time if the caregivers are not there.

I think the second vet who came in WAS a blessing
She has Stormy home...How could this other vet be bad?

yorkie_mama22 · 03-24-2009, 12:15 PM

I want to thank everyone who is being supportive and kind, I can take all the support I need right now. I have been lost all day. She "appears" to be better now and I've been holding her all day just thinking and I understand what some of you are saying. I want to make this clear because I am the only one who TRULY knows what I am thinking in my head and that is that I was NOT mad at this vet for "saving" her life. I am VERY thankful that he second checked her, I am VERY VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS, so for you to say that I am MAD, you all don't know! I am MAD because of my dog WAS suffering and WAS curable WHY WAS I LIED TO?!?! I would of brought her home with me and figured things out! I would of NEVER left her there to sit in a cage BY HERSELF for 5 hours especially if she was suffering!!!!! I am so glad this vet came in and thought that this dog had/has a chance. I THANKED HIM ALSO! I was extremely confused, lost, mad, happy, and sad. I had been CRYING ALL FRICKING EVENING, my eyes were sore from crying so much, my baby daughter asking me " mommy why are you sad what's wrong, where is Stormy? ". I am pissed this office handled the situation the way it did. I believe this vet may of thought he wasn't making enough cutting me some slack the last two or three times I've been in but they don't charge for rechecks and I go for rechecks always. I was JUST IN FOR A RECHECK earlier that day! I have been dealing with this place since I brought Stormy home in October. She had an accident here and that is what happen with her nose, at that time THE VET said I should put her down also! I chose not too, my mom took her home and within two weeks she came around and lived, her vet was shocked!! She has had a few other incidents that the vet told me are probably health issues that she's had. I've been doing the best I CAN by taking care of the problems as they come but yes I have been to the vet so many times now they all know Stormy there and they probably see me the most. I think sometimes I am crazy that I run there over everything excuse me for loving my dog. If there wasn't so many issues I wouldn't have a problem taking care of a dog! I haven't been able to do all the things they want to do previously because their estimates are 800+ dollars on different occasions. I wish I would of started taking her some place else but I live just down the street from them and when something happens they are the closest place to bring her so I go there.

Anyways. after alot of thinking and crying I have decided that I am going to go and talk to this vet from last night and see what he really wants with her. Does he want to really help her get better and keep her as pet or what really is going through his mind. I have to say that I am open to the thought of giving her up if that means she is going to get ALL the testing and help that will make her healthy and ALIVE! I really feel that a vet would probably be the best owner for her as with all the visits I do, it wouldn't cost him nearly as much. He is also a surgeon. I know he did surgeries on both of my FILs dogs legs. I know she will need surgery on her leg eventually because she has LP. I know that 2,500$ is way out of my budget as that is what I was quoted for that as well. I want to see what his intentions are and see the vibe I get, I don't want to just give her away to a vet because he said he can fix her and make her better. Yes it is a VERY nice gesture but what about HIS personality and so on. I am sure you guys wouldn't just give your dog away to anybody now would you? What if they were animal abusers or bad people, just because they offer to "fix" your animal doesn't mean you jump at it right away. I was going through alot the only thing I was thinking was get her out of there, she was SO SCARED!

The second vet came in because this is a 24/7 hospital. One goes home and the other comes in. The first one didn't get to her intime and she was left there to be put down. The second vet decided to look her over I guess before doing the job. He had the stuff out already all on the table, I think he was a blessing as well, I am not mad at him at all.

JeanieK · 03-24-2009, 12:17 PM

As I posted before things do not add up. There is something missing from this story.

There seems to have been a tremendous amount of tragedy in the short length of time that she has had this dog.

I did not read how she came by the dog. But in earlier threads she made statements that she didn't think the dog was meant to live very long, and that the people at the pet store told her this vet was not good, and that she thought the dog must have had problems before she got it, and that she had been told previously to have the dog put down.

Something is not adding up.

By saying that he could fix stormy if the op signed her over to him! That was plain and simply WRONG
