Giz/Emma and everyones pets on the board

Nice!
Bentley is ok with gunshots?

 

Yes. He sits and patiently waits to go track the deer lol.

If he can see me shooting that is. If he can't see me and heard a shot, he gets a little antsy but not bad.

 

Took me a minute to find Saucy!

 

Happy Thanksgiving from the Hounds!

Headed out for a hike early this morning.


Met some new friends

Nappin now, watching the dog show, waiting for kibble with giblets later

 

6 years ago. The leading dog is Mazy. She was two there. she passed away a year later. the one behind is Max. He is 9 now. Can't run if he tried.

 

Lucky they were dealing with you and not me. At the end, had it be me having to pay for that kind of service/treatment would have garnered them a double barrel verbal barrage that they definitely would not have liked or soon forgotten. At this stage of my existence I have virtually "0" patient/tolerance for that style B.S. service and have no problem advancing my dis-satisfaction as a paying customer. May not have changed anything, but I would have gotten my point to them VIVIDLY.

 

Wildwest, I am so sorry. What a nightmare. Sadly more and more common. My vet retired and i can't find a decent vet whom i would actually trust.
When Lucy got diagnosed with IBD one of the vets insisted i put her on Royal canine prescription food. The first ingredients are Brewers rice and chicken byproduct meal and they want me to pay $ 82 for 30lbs of such low grade food. The next option if that didn't work would be Royal canine hydrolized food. That one sports ground chicken feathers as one of their "easy to digest" ingredients. So I started cooking for Lucy instead. I think they get paid dividents by the dog food manufacturers and the chemical companies for peddling their most expensive meds, never mind side effects.
By the way do you know that you don't have to do yearly vaccination boosters unless you live in the city and have to get your dog license. There used to be a lot of research including a class action lawsuit on the web. Dr Schultz was one of the leading veterinarians working actually for the government at one time. Unfortunately most of it has been taken off and suppressed. I vaccinate everybody once when they come in or twice if they are very young under 6 months. Never had a problem including Feleuk cats. Vaccines cause a lot of health problems.
I hope you have another vet in the area who is better.

 

Yes, I agree. I've been at that point for some years now. Especially where my animals are concerned. Who do they think they are treating decent concerned people and innocent animals like that.

 

I feel so badly that the vet, indeed it seems the entire staff, were either incompetent or complete azzhats. I go to a clinic that has 3 vets and all know me by name (as doe the receptionists). They know I am able to assist with holding animals for shots and temp taking - but if they knew that I couldn't they would have someone else in there. I've had ill animals that made messes and they gave me a roll of towels for clean up - even when the mess was out in my vehicle and not in their office. Each vet has had to give me some sort of bad news (I've had a lot of animals the last 30 years - holy cr*p, I've been seeing all the vets that long) - they have all spoken in a way that I could understand, asked questions of me to make sure I understood the situation, alternatives and risks, answered my questions in English, and NEVER, EVER, once talked down to me.

I understand that some vets are strictly animal people, not people people, (heck, that pretty much describes me) but it didn't even seem as if your vet was one of those. And it is hard to speak up when all you want to do is get your pets taken care of so don't want to make waves while treatment is in progress.

I am so angry that you and your crew were treated that way!

 

I'm sorry wildwest. Being so new i didn't realize. My main problem is that i don't want to upset my animals, they know by my tone of voice when i get mad. So i often have to bite my tongue for their sake. When a vet yelled at me before because i wouldn't let her vaccinate my already ill dog. Rider almost went over the counter to teach her manners. His front feet were on it and he growled at her. I didn't ask him to go off and sit, i just looked at her. The message should have been pretty clear. 6 months later he died of bone cancer that she didn't even find.

 

Bogieb, the sad thing is a lot of the vets are not even animal people, they are money people and you are just an inconvenience they have to put up with to make that money.
There are still good ones like yours but they are hard to find.
It's the same with human DRs. I have walked out of a dr's office before and told him he was fired and that i had never experienced such incompetence and didn't expect to be billed.
I never got a bill.

 

Just as Rotti stated, it is lucky it didn't happen to me.

Point blank would've asked them "why are you talking over me and avoided my questions/concerns?"

Just get P. Offed thinking about it!
