Great advice and I agree that would be best if they will do it...it can def. save some $$$$

The guy said when I go to a new vet, to have them call and they'll send everything over.

That is AWESOME that will help so much:thumbup:

That is great news about the emergency vet sending the records to your personal vet.

Something that I have begun since adopting Charlie, I always ask for a copy of his file (ie visit and notes the doctor makes in his file) and store in a binder at home. That way, if he is taken somewhere else, I don't have to try to remember dates, etc. Also, copies of blood tests are essential to have in your binder. Mine is sectioned with visits (their records), blood tests, vaccinations and miscellaneous such as new foods, etc.

Both of my vets are more than willing to give me copies at no charge. Warmly, Deborah

PS I am still appalled at the way he spoke to you and so glad you brought Cosmo home.

Wow I just read the whole thread, I am so sorry you and your baby had to go throu all this craziness:( I hope for your baby's full recovery and you should definitely go to your vet that you trust for a check up just to make sure about all the things that others mentioned. I am so glad you pulled your baby out of that mad house. Ugh how unbelievable some vets are by saying you are not getting your dog if you dont pay in full.

Just waking up, its been a restless week, were scared to let him sleep unsupervised so someone is always waking up every 5 minutes at night to check on him. Hes doing wonderfully he just finished his food, took his medicine. Hes alert and trying to walk. He sits up from time to time but we always have our hands on him just incase he stumbles. He is definitely improving and enjoying the attention!!

Thanks everyone for your posts I do read them all!

They wouldn't give ME the records, they said it would be too complicated:confused: (bull). I didn't wanna fight anymore and they still had cosmo so I just said ok.

Thats a good idea, the way i've been doing it is keeping the receipts in date order. So like if he goes in to have his rabies shot, they give me a receipt that says rabies shot and I put it in order. One year I had a chart, and you check off the date and the vaccine that worked too.

Yeah, we couldn't help but think what would have happened had he been in there a few more days. They were actually trying to convince us to keep him there till tuesday, AFTER arguing with me!! Yeah sure buddy cause I trust you.

oh boy was that horrible vet in PA? I wonder where exacly. I usually go time to time visit my boyfriend's parents with Maxi and they live in PA. I just want to make sure god forbid something happens I would know not to go there:(
So glad to hear you baby is getting better :)

Highway freakin' robbery, I tell ya:mad: Can you imagine if a human doctor tried to keep your baby if you couldn't pay in full right away? :rolleyes: That is just SO wrong:cry: I hate that they charge so much too, it's just ridiculous and price gouging is illegal for businesses to do. Why should a vet be the exception? I hate that the government looks the other way and treats our animals like they don't matter:(

I had a few horrible vets before I found my present vet, and this is how I found my new one. My old vet actually contributed to the death of my baby Starr, and here I'd thought he was a good vet all along, but in actuality, he was just NICE, not knowledgeable:( That lack of knowledge helped to kill my little one:cry:

Anyway, I went to http://www.YTCA.org and found a breeder close to me. I called her and she was more than happy to tell me about this great vet hospital, she was SO nice:) If there aren't any breeders of Yorkies nearby, try to find another toy breed organization (Chihuahua, Maltese, etc.) and go from there. Good breeders KNOW which vets are good and which aren't and they should be more than happy to help you:D

HTH:love:

When they send the papers over to your other vet, they will give you the copies and you won't have to deal with the others.

Wow just now reading this thread... Bless your heart.. Praying everything works out .. Our babies are so precious and so fearless of everything .... They think they are strong and can do anything so innocently.... They are nothing more than true infants 0-3 months of age
