OMG! I would have gone crazy to if my baby went through this situation. I am sure I would have been very abrupt if my request for feeding a specific food was not followed specially if I provided the food. I am with you all the way. :animal36

I would change vets as well. I am so sorry that happened to your baby!

That is totally ridiculous! Vets, of all people, should know that you do not switch food on a little yorkie, or more times than not, their little systems will get upset! I agree with others on here...find a new vet. There was no reason for your little one to have to suffer in pain as she has, just because of a test she had done! And, for it to happen a second time...that is nonsense! Poor little sweetie and poor you! *HUGGGGGGGG* Wishing her a very speedy recovery!

40 million exclamation points ... but perfectly justifiable
 

OMG I WAS GETTING PISSED OFF JUST READING IT! i cant believe those people ...to be so careless! its their damn job to be responsible and do whats in the best interest of our little babies!! you should definitely take some kind of action since this is ALL THEIR FAULT! Find another Vet!

And i really hope your little girl gets better, that poor thing!

Thank you
 

me and billi naped all day in bed ...yes she sleeps in my bed she said this has been one heck of an ordeal I am trying to decide... do i hold the vet responsible for poor vet tecs they are his staff and it is up to him to make shure they have minimal brain power or do i stick with this vet a guy who when doing my puppie checks go's the full nine yards looking for luxating patellas dialating eyes to look for gen defects looks for Trachia issues and when my babies are sick and im low on cash dosnt hessitate to care for my fur babies and tells me he understand fur babies health before wealth ..... i think im going to go with my gut and call him on monday and talk to him about this and how i feel his Giardia comments were poor taste and a distraction from the fact that his staff sucks ! if 2 test show no issues there decision to change my babies food is at fault period and he KNOWS This ... oh im getting mad again and then im gonna tell him i will be finding a new vet
The really hard thing with raising a litter of puppies is if one needs special care you bond so tightly in 10 weeks ... im gonna cry when Billi moves in with the other mother .. just a comment for people who think raising yorkies are $$$ask me how much i make and how much my vet makes

I would be so mad I'd be standing outside with a sign "Don't use this Vet", so that I could tell everyone what they did. That's just horrible. I'm so sorry for your baby.

I'm sorry this happened to you but I have a question. I feed my dog Scienc Diet and have fed her that since I got her. As a matter of fact her vet recommended it for her. Is Science Diet not good food for dogs? I haven't had any problems with it at all. Maybe dogs have different reactions to it I don't think your vet gave her this thinking it was bad food I actually thought it was pretty good for them. Please tell me if I'm wrong.

In my opinion Science Diet is not a good food.

These are the ingredients of Science Diet Original. Chicken By-Products are not good, and corn is bad for dogs. Here is a good link to explain the rest of the ingredients.

Ingredients
Chicken, Ground Whole Grain Corn, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Ground Whole Grain Wheat, Chicken By-Product Meal, Soybean Meal, Animal Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), Corn Gluten Meal, Brewers Rice, Chicken Liver Flavor, Soybean Oil, Dried Egg Product, Flaxseed, Potassium Chloride, Iodized Salt, Choline Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, vitamins (L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement), Vitamin E Supplement, minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite), DL-Methionine, preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid, Beta-Carotene, Rosemary Extract.


Here are the ingredients of Natural Balance Ultra Premium, which is what I feed Loki. It's on the acceptable list by the Whole-Dog-Journal and while they are better foods out there, he has a sensitive stomach and this works well for him.

Chicken, Brown Rice, Duck, Lamb Meal, Oatmeal, Pearled Barley, Potatoes, Chicken Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols - source of Vitamin E, Citric Acid, and Rosemary Extract), Natural Flavor, Tomato Pomace, Canola Oil, Brewers Yeast, Lecithin, Choline Chloride, Carrots, Potassium Chloride, Whole Ground Flaxseed, Dried Kelp, Sodium Chloride, Parsley Flakes, Calcium Carbonate, Zinc Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin B-12 Supplements, Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C), Taurine, Yucca Schidigera Extract, L-Lysine, Manganese Sulfate, Niacin, Riboflavin Supplement (Vitamin B-2), Copper Proteinate, Copper Sulfate, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Acetate, Inositol, Folic Acid (Vitamin B, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B-6), Thiamin Mononitrate (Vitamin B-1), D-Activated Animal Sterol (source of Vitamin D-3), Biotin, Ethylene Diamine Dihydriodide (source of Iodine), Cobalt Sulfate, Vitamin K Supplement, Sodium Selenite

So, the truth really is in the ingredients, not necessarily the label. THey all claim to be wholesome and "natural" and good for your pet.

I'd seriously contact an attorney and open a case. that's sooo wrong in every sense. I'm so sorry that happened to your baby!!!! I'd seriously take her to a new vet who has perhaps more experience with yorkies and puppies in general. wow, I can't believe that happened. some People just make me sick(referring to your vet).

Here's the thing, you're supposed to feed your dog the same food all the time, if you switch them to a different food too fast it can cause upset stomach, diahria, and other problems. so what her vet did was totally unacceptable. he should have asked her to bring some of her dogs food with her. but he didn't. as a vet he should have known what switching foods too fast could do. and also he should have consented it with her.
