Replies on Are You a Victim of Veterinary Abuse?

Totally agree!

I've come to the conclusion that the no. 1 quality in a good vet is to LISTEN to the owner. If a vet disagrees with me, I would expect a rational reason why rather than "because I said so". I have a GSD who I tell vets will allow open heart surgery provided you let me keep firing tiny treats into her mouth and do not let the tech put her into a head lock. With her full focus on me, she has allowed needle aspiration of a small lump, all kinds or examination, etc with nary a peep....and kisses for the vet. If a vet ignores me, I leave with a stressed, unhappy dog. Unfortunately, one may have to go through a few vets to find a good one...and hope they don't move.
