I have pondered how to respond to you for some time. It's hard to condemn a vet when I was guilty too. I HATED some of our "procedures" but was not a strong person to stand up, and couldn't anyway, because I was merely a lowly tech. I'm so sorry you had a heartless vet, some don't realize that an animal is NOT a pet, they are FAMILY!!! For some, that is the only children they have! Old or young, they deserve respect and compassion, in treating and in death. I live in a small town, with only 1 clinic, and since I realized that pharma equates early death, I have been refused grooming services and vet services. I have treated my dogs and cows with oregano as anitbiotic and garlic as wormer. I'm sorry for ranting, just don't know how to accurately say what is in my heart

oh that was well said. I dont fault you. you saw the light. you didnt know..dont feel guilty. but with everything coming out these days..the drs and techs should be waking up. i think it was more of the words he said to me that last visit that has me in shock. he was greedy, cold and jealous. a side of him i had never seen. he had said a few things to me i didnt like but i understood...he told me he didnt have time to spend with me cause he had surgeries to do. he was VERY busy with surgeries. thats his true passion. he was always good about including me in things though. BUT in the end...boy oh boy..he told me my dog was almost 25 and was gonna die. why would i spend $5000 on a surgery...*(that he wasnt going to do) and said he could do it. My dog had two fainting spells. bloodwork showed heart issues..he told me she didnt need any meds. sent us home. i called a couple days later requesting medicine. he never returned my call. my truck was broke down. cont--->

Phantom same here..but was injurred @ 23 yrs with a TBI which drastically changed my options.
Went through Drs too...discovered specialist put me on a DRUG that was making me like a ZOMBIE...they were trying to control brain waves triggering seizures.
Prayed for direction..weined myself off drug and learned to pay attention to: Sleep, diet & stress...then went to Rutgers to finish degree...

In the fire for STRESS TRAINING.
Had a sweet dog that was OVER JABBED before I got him...Vet always said jabs no issue...
I TRUST MY DISCERNMENT more then Vet/Dr opinions. Tig lived to be 13 but was always sickly.
I adored him...he taught me so much! I didn't follow Vet's directives ... did NOT purchase VET Prescriptive food... Researched out lower protein Healthy food...Vet said Tig would not have lived as long were he not under my care.

Phantom FORGIVE their foolishness...love them anyway...some don't see what you see...we see...
LOOK AT COV!
Born for such a time as this...YOU are

❤️ I tried to educate my vet on covid as we spent alot of time at clinic... about midway into it..he changed..got weird on me.... like someone slipped a switch in his head. He already knew not to get the shot but many in his clinic did. I could forgive if he hadnt of refused to help my dog....i cant forgive that.
