Gotta Vent Okay I usually dont get mad easy but,Tuesday I carried Sparky to the vet for puppy shots and he whinned and cried and the vets assisant(spelled) made several comments about Sparky!! First she said he needed to go to puppy school (which for her info. he started Monday)Then she said I needed to call Super Nanny to get him straight.The poor puppy was scared so yes he cried.Am I wrong for feeling like this?? :mad: |
no your not wrong. what a bi**h!! she doesn't deserve to work around animals!!!!!! |
The nerve of her!!!! I don't blame you for being angry. What king of bedside manner is that?!! :thumbdown Was the vet in the room to hear the assistant making those comments? If not, I would definitely mention it. And if he/she was there then I'd think twice about going back. Of all the people, they ought to know that our pets are family. Jojo is definitely treated like a son and not a dog/animal. Oh my, I'm getting riled up just thinking about it!! :angry: |
She should have kept her comments to herself! She has no business working there! Some people are so obnoxious! |
she should have kept her mouth shut........ she could have said things in a more tactful way.... she could have said "oh hes crying an awful lot, is this normal? if it is maybe you shoud look into blah blah blah" or "has he started puppy kindergarten yet???? it would be really good for him, those classes are great for early training......" i agree that she wasnt very tactful in teh way taht she handeled things but some people arent, and a lot of those vet people are used to getting people that know absolutly nothing about dogs and what kind of care that they need, and (giving her the benefit of the doubt) being a vet tech is STRESSFUL, maybe she just had a bad day and didnt feel up to the task of talking to people correctly (is this is the case then she still shouldnt be working there because it will always be a stressful job) |
Some nerve!!! You know, the assistant in my vets office where I take Luig, always has a coment to make about his behavior!!!! Well, we haven't been there since Feb, and we got him in Jan, but he was sick alot so we were there because of that!!! And many times she was in a round about way, trying to blame me. And would make coments like- Oh he's not sitting yet, and boy is he antsy!!! I was like- He's still a puppy!! 3 monthes old, and in a whole new envirnment, and you have the nerve to tell me he is antsy!!! I wanted to scream at her!!! So you have every right to be PO'D!!!!! |
I'd probably talk to the doctor about her comments and if he didn't change her attitude for her, then I would find another doctor! :p |
I would find a new vet. Period. And when I wrote requesting the records to be send to the new doc, I would explain why. When you have an emergency, you need to have a skilled doc you can count on who staffs his clinic with knowledgeable caring people. I would hate to have to face that person if my little one was REALLY sick and needed some warm fuzzies. It is not her job nor her business whether or not your baby is a holy terror. And she is a VET TECH so what qualifies her to make that determination, anyway? |
She was being tacky. :thumbdown |
Yuck, the Vet's office is a very scary place for MOST dogs. Must have been her first day on the job, really, what does she expect. I would consider changing vets also. If she is rude to you about your pup, imagine how rude and mean she would be to your pup if you ever had to leave him there alone. Not a good sign. Also, I would let the vet know. Good luck and I'm sorry you had to deal with that! |
obviously this assistant doesn't work with Yorkies to much. Every one I've met is a Drama Queen or King. That is just typical Yorkie behavior, right? Starsky whimpers when he get's his shots too, plus he has reactions and has to get a second shot because of that! How would she (the assistant) like to get a shot or 2 in her neck!!!!!!!!! I am sure some Bull Mastif's whimper too! |

I would have been furious! You can bet that I would have had a long discussion with the "head vet" about that person's attitude! |
Call Super Nanny on the vets assistant! |
That would have been the last time I ever step foot in that Vet's office. I would reprot her to who ever was in charge. And I would be sure to spred the word of how I was treated |
