need some guidance I need some help. I am looking for a new vet. The vet I use is really nice and I have used them for years with other pets. However, other pets were not Maddie. :rolleyes: I have found that their clinic is limited on what medications and treatments offered. We live in a rural area and I am not sure how many yorkies are seen at this office. Not saying the vet is unqualified, I just think I would feel better about using a vet that regularly sees/treats her breed. Am I being silly?:confused: What should I look for? What questions should I ask before trusting them with Maddie's care? |
I don't have much advice as I am in the same "boat" as you. You are not being silly, I am feeling the same way about my vet. We have been seeing her for 15+ years. She was great with my Dalmatian and she is good with our cats and my Lab/ Retriever, Mazey but I feel I need to find someone who deals with Yorkies more regularly...especially one as small as my Lulu Belle (she is 3.5 #). Good luck in your search...hope you find someone you and your baby are happy with. :) |
No, you're not being silly. If it is just the drugs they offer, they can always write you a script. If they really don't have small dog experience or you aren't comfortable, move on. :) Some things I would need to know before I let Ellie set paw in the door are: What anesthesia do you use for maintain? If you aren't open 24/7, what do we do in an emergency? Will you alter your vaccination protocol and not force me to give them yearly? How long have you been practicing? Is surgery done on a heated surface? Is an IV placed before surgery? Is preop blood work offered? How do you monitor during anesthesia? Do you do the surgery alone or is somebody (a tech) there to help? Do the techs anesthetize without the vet in the room? Are they willing to write a prescription for safe products that they do not carry or that are too pricey? Is the office very clean? Will I be forced to leave my dog overnight after surgery if there is nobody here to watch them? |
