Are all Vets Like this?!! *long RANT*
well since moving we changed vets for ease, the first ones koda's been to though*
Right the first time we went to them was when Koda was 5/6wks (although as most will know we were told he was 8wks*) These are the vets who said he is about 5/6wks when they checked him over.
at this first check, they did everything necessary etc and i told them he did have pretty bad diarhhea, but they said its probably down to being moved and also change of food etc...
fair enough.
took him home that night and a few hours later he was crying before takin a poop (which was like water and contained blood
)
Suddenly alarmed i called their 24hr vet and it was the old bag that had checked him earlier on, but her OH had answered her mob and said she'd call back....5mins later she rings and first thing she says is "whats the matter now?!!" I was like umm, excuse me? i was ringing to get some advice!! and i told her what had happened and then said could this be a sign of wormss?? and earlier on in the meeting she had said "has he been wormed??" and i said yes, every 2weeks since 2wks acording to the breeder"...
anyway after saying "could it be worms causing blood in his stool??" she snapped and said "you told me he was wormed earlier!!!" i said "thats what the breeder told us" and she said "well, you met them did they seem like they would lie to you??"
WTF?!
what a question!! i was like....i met them for like half hour!! how was i to know they were lieng??!
then i said, you even said he was 3 weeks younger than they had told me, soooooo doesn't that say alot?! she was like hmmmm well just monitor him bla bla bla i dont know what it is!!
i was fuming, if i hadnt already paid and booked for his jabs i wouldnt have gone back!!!
anyway went back a week ago for jab....different vet, seemed ok-ish! anyway he had his jabs etc (thats all he had gone for - he's on his own worming prog at home fortnightly with us)
and she said to us when was he last wormed? and i said about 2days back(approx it wasnt long)..and she said well here this is a stronger wormer (even though he hasnt had diarhhea or any blood etc in stools for a few weeks)
and i said he's just been wormed with drontal she was like well worm him again tomorrow, no later
and that was that we went out and the woman on reception said ok thats £5.40 please....I said "for what?" and she said "this ONE worming tablet" i said right i wasnt aware i was going to be paying for anything today i didnt bring any money with me!" "she was all weird looking and said well he really does need this urgently
"
My b/f by this point was fuming and said look we'll bring in money tomorrow morning then! and grabbed the tablet...."
She grabbed it back and said sorry i cant give it to you, you'll have to pick it up when you pay.....
right then......bye! thanks!
we didnt go back(shocker!)
these were the same vets that told us to take Kodas water away from 7PM till 7AM....!!
Hmmmmm Need a new vet!!!!!
sorry for the long rant, am i being silly b/c i found it very rude how they treated us! also how they threw things at us, we didnt even need, without even asking if we would like to buy it! i mean c'mon!!
