..My worst experience with the vet
 

:( I took my little Lillian to the vet today because her stitches from the spay seemed to be infected. So the vet takes her in a private room and closed the door on me! About 3 minutes later I hear her screaming in pain! I rushed into the room and the vets just standing there like nothing happened and she goes...yes? I went to look at my baby and she was bleeding and yelping. They had ripped her stitches out without putting her under anesthesia! They just yanked them out just like that! So I asked her to bandage her up atleast and she goes no..its best if you leave it open well if thats the case then why did she wrap her in a shirt before we left?!..If that wasn't enough...they wanted me to pay for the medicine! Then she scheduled me to come in a week later. YEAH RIGHT! I got mad and started complaining and of course I got kicked out :mad: At that point I was really angry and worried for her. So I took her to another vet..he was suprised when I told him waht they did to her. Then he put some gel on her cut and bandaged it. He also gave her a shot and some anti biotics. And instead of waiting a week he said to bring her in on monday.:( I hope shes okay

OMG how HORRIBLE

I hope shes feeling a little better tonight. Some vets (and human drs) have no compassion.

That is terrible!! Definitely no need to go back to that doctor again!! Hope your baby is all better soon.

How awful!! :( I hope your baby feels better soon!!

The poor little thing...I glad you are changing vets...animals feel pain too. Although I have to say..I have never had an animal put under to have stitches removed...is this something they do for yorkies (I have only had mine for a little over 2 years...Sadie isn't spayed yet I will be bringing her soon..My vet is going to do the laser surgery on her...there are no stitches with that.

I hope your little furball is feeling better soon!

OMG what a dreadful shock for you and your baby, how can a vet do that? Then stand there like nothing has happened. I would of gone MAD.

I would of refused to pay them anything and reported them.

They shouldn't be allowed to practice if this is the way they behave.

I wish your baby a very speedy recovery.

Hugs Diana, Levi & Teddy :aimeeyork :animal36 :)

The stitches were in the inside not the outside they were supposed to dissolve internally. So I couldn't even see them from the outside just looking at her. There was just a little bit that was sticking out from under her skin so I can imagine why she was crying.

They dont put the dogs under to remove the stitches but if they were infected I could see them causing alot of pain

That's aweful. I cannot believe they did that!:mad:

I thought vets were supposed to care for their patients, not harm them. That's just awful. I'm sorry you and your furbaby had to eexperience that!!

That's no vet! It's that kind of so-called "vet" that makes our babies afraid to go when they need to. It's not right to treat a pet or their parent like that. A vet is a vet because the love animals and want to make them better - not hurt them or yell at them or their parents. That is just plain disgusting! I'm sorry you and Lillian were treated like that and I'm glad the new vet was much more compassionate and concerned. He sounds like a good vet that cares about his patients. I hope Lillian starts feeling better soon.

A lot of people say I'm a b#^%h, and I politely thank them. In this case, I volunteer to cut open his privates, sew them up and come back a week later to rip out the stitches. Anesthesia, he don't need to stinkin' anesthesia; after all, he's a big he man, he can take it. It may not make your baby feel better, but I'll bet you darned sure would.

She wanted me to bring her back so she could put her under anesthesia to remove the rest of them cause she was in pain when they removed the first set. Thats why I was thinking that she did.

OMG POOR Thing ! That's horrible and infected stitches HURTS ! and hurts bad - they should have numbed the spot at the very least - I would have gone ballistic too and you had every right to get mad - that's just MEAN and lazy on the vets part.

Sending her lots of get well wishes and a hug...that really sucked.

what a brave girl if she ever walks on her own into any vets office again - that really made me cringe...:(

:confused: are you argueing with me? I told you they weren\'t stitches that can\'t be removed 123 they were internal dissolving stitches that you can barely see from the outside. Infact they weren\'t even supposed to be removed so I don\'t know why she did that in the first place.
