OMG, I'm so sorry to hear that you and your little one had to go through that:( Many years ago I had almost the exact same experience except my puppy turned and opened her mouth when the vet gave her a shot and she grabbed her by the bridge of the nose and squeezed till the puppy was literally screaming and proceeded to tell me all about her issues. I left there crying and called my mom in Hawaii who listened to the whole story and then said, "Honey, is that the only vet in Utah?" That certainly put it in perspective for me:) |
omg! gidget is a PUPPY and that vet needs to mind their own dern business. just like everyone else on here my pets are very precious to us and i want only the best care and people. i worked for 2 months ina vet clinic and they let there Teen Vet Tech do way to much i didnt last 2 months. and they were rude to the animals and ate in the surgery room. suring surgury. dont you worry about gidgets so called attidude im sures she fine my dogs to rule the house mainly the only thing i do is crate them at night and sometimes when i go out. My gidget is very submissive and i never worked on that with her i dont know where it comes from. good luck and vet a new vet babe |
I would find a new vet. We started taking Ellie to a different vet office last fall and we weren't impressed until she had dental surgery in January and got the nicest vet in the office.:) All the techs do there is get info from you, weigh your dog and take the temp. for the most part. Ellie is VERY squirmy and clings to us when we take her to the vet. Well, she had a yeast infection in her ears a couple months ago and the vet (not the tech) swabbed them and two weeks later for the recheck the vet looked in them. One of Ellie's ears was really bothering her and when the instrument went in it hurt her (just squealed a little which she normally doesn't do) and when the vet was done she picked her up and rubbed her belly. Ellie also went in kicking once and the vet says in the calmest voice, "stop with the feeties". She said it over and over knowing it wasn't doing any good but just trying to calm her down. That vet tech had no right to talk to you like that. If something hurts, a dog will get vocal and maybe try to bite just like a kid in pain would scream. She is just a baby. |
OMG what a horrible experience! I am so sorry! I agree with the others, definitely switch vets. My Eury is always very submissive but when she goes to the vet and they check her ears (she had ear mites when we first got her) and give her shots, she ALWAYS cries (she isn't called a Little Drama Queen for nothing LOL) and depending on how much poking they do, sometimes tries to nip at the vet. The first time she did this (she wasn't feeling good at the time) I was so surprised and apologized profusely to the vet. He brushed it off and said, "Dogs often don't like vets because we smell funny and many times do things to them that don't feel good. Not to mention they don't understand that we are there to help them not hurt them. Many dogs who never bite, will bite vet staff. Don't worry too much about it. Just continue to train her and make sure she's submissive to you and is socialized to people and other dogs and she'll be fine." Yup we continue to go to him. :) :aimeeyork Chelle |
Thanks so much for your support! I feel so much better today. I hope Gidget does too. |
What a nut case. I am sorry poor Gidget and you went through the third degree for no reason. Run to a new vet. That one has sever problems. Sounds like she dosen't like her job at all. Don't be nervous if Gidget is showing alpha signs. Some dogs do and some don't. Buddy did as he got older. We had issues but with the internet and YT we got past them. These little buggers think who they are. Once they know your the boss they back off and let you take charge gladly. Good luck and I hope Gidget is feeling better. |
vet tech like that was the reason I switched vets! |
She is not happy today. I don't know what the heck is going on. She was really wanting to chew everything today. When I would go to nuzzle her she got all chewy - more so than usual. A couple of times she came to my toes and stuff to gnaw on them. I told her no and tried to divert her and she got very alpha. She rolled to her back, as I pulled her off my toe, and diverted her. She then rolled around spasing on her back and barked and growly grumbled - it almost looked like she was having a seizure. This went on for about a minute. I put her in her playpen so she wouldn't get too out of control and she continued with this rolling on her back barikng and growling at nothing and shaking her head. I am so confused. |
Sorry you've had problems with your vet and the staff there, you should tell them how you feel about your treatment, they won't know unless you complain. Have you asked friends for a referral to who they use and if they are happy with them. I love my vet, he is so loving. Always gives my babies kisses and blows raspberries on their tummies:p . They don't love going to the vet but I know he loves animals and has their best interest in mind. |
