A little upset - YorkieTalk.com Forums

horsnaround · 09-28-2011, 01:59 PM

Well today my two went to the vet Riley for a dental and Lily to be spayed. I get a call around noon to say the dental went great no teeth pulled just plak cleaned

. And then he said he did not spay as his computer that he gets the blood work from was not working. And by the time they got it figured out it was to late in the day to spay. This decision has taken me sometime to decide on doing. So now they can not get her in for two weeks.

. I figured by the end of the day I would be done worrying and feel good about my decision. Now I am second guessing if I should or not. I did reschedule for the 11th. I am so bummed I have to think about this for another two weeks

I'm glad the dental went well! With regards to the spay, did they call you you let you know the computer was down? Or did they simply just tell you when you came to pick up from the dental?

i would be upset too. i think they should do the bloodwork at a seperate appointment instead of waiting till the day of surgery. i have an appointment booked for my Chihuahua to get spayed and i will make sure the bloodwork gets done a day or two before the surgery.

Glad the dental went well. I'm sorry they couldnt do the spay today but I think you should definitely go ahead for it in two weeks.

I agree, I had Uni's bloodwork done a few days before her spay. I'd be pissed too though. To have your baby there all day and then for nothing.

horsnaround · 09-28-2011, 02:39 PM

I asked about doing bloodwork ahead of time and they said no we can do it the day of. They called at noon to tell me they had not done it. Could not pick up till after 3:30 for the dental. So Lily just went to spend the day in a cage

gidget529 · 09-28-2011, 03:00 PM

That was really poor IMO. I am so sorry. I would be annoyed too if I were you. It is good to hear how well the dental went, though. No extractions - YAY!!

Perrella · 09-28-2011, 03:01 PM

Ok, personally for me....I would not be upset that they didn't do the spay today without the proper bloodwork in order. I would count it as a blessing and would have the outmost confidence in my vet...he/she was watching out for the well fare of my girl, instead of moving forward without the bloodwork.

I too, am glad all went well with the dental.

I am sorry you have to dwell on it for 2 more weeks, but know in your heart you are doing the best thing for your girl. In this world of technology we all know these things happen and your vet considered her well being first.

The part I don't agee with is not calling you to come and pick her up due to the delay.

jadabug · 09-28-2011, 03:03 PM

I am so sorry Lily didn't get her spay today

I know how upset you must be. Now another 2 weeks of worry. Glad the dental went good though.

I agree about the blood work being done first its a good thing But i asked last week if I should bring her in to do it before the procedure. That is why I am a little upset. Machines break and problems come up. I almost had my daughter go and pick her up but left her so Riley would not be alone. I am sure having her there helped him relax. We will do it again in two weeks he did not want me to come in earlier for blood work so it better work this time.

TxVicki · 09-28-2011, 03:28 PM

Glad that all went well with the Dental. Sorry about the blood work mix up.
I always have the blood work about 3 day's before anything is done. That's the way my Vet does it, so if something isn't right they don't have to sit at the Vet.

But do know that you are doing what is right to have Lily spayed.

Teresa Ford · 09-28-2011, 03:43 PM

I am glad the dental went fine. I know you would not want them to do surgery on Lily with out the proper tests and results. You are just upset that it is not over and done with. But you know what, sometimes things are a blessing in disguises. Maybe today was not the right day for her to have her spay. You take the best care of your Yorkies. So try not to worry, ( I know you will anyway, I am like that too.) It will work out and be ok.

I sure hope they didn't charge you for the cage Lily took up, while she waited for a surgery that didn't happen...

I'm glad the dental went well though, don't worry after the 11th you'll get it all taken care of, and your little girl will be fine. It's really hard having to leave them there... hang in there, it'll all be resolved soon. I know how it feels to be pissed off and frustrated with vets, I'm having my own vet issues.

Perrella · 09-28-2011, 03:53 PM

My vet does the bloodwork the morning of too. I think it would be much better to do it a couple days before. I know the reason is probably because they have to fast, but still, that would be ok too.

Maybe you could firmly suggest you want the bloodwork atleast the day before because you don't want a repeat of the last time. If they go for it, just remember to fast your girl.

Wylie's Mom · 09-28-2011, 04:07 PM

I would be upset too...bc it takes me a whole lot to work up to leaving my kiddos at the vet for a day, let alone for surgery...only to have it delayed. It's really good that you elected to do the pre-work, and good that your vet waited for results...but still, UGH! You were ready to deal w/ a surgery only to have to delay. What a pain.
