From your last post, it sounds like your pup underwent the surgery. Please report this vet to the State Veterinary Board in writing. It is definitely negligence to leave an animal unattended after surgery. All surgeries should be done in the a.m. hours so the animals are attended all day by the staff.

I just wanted to comment on the vet situation. My best friend is a vet and she has told me all the secrets that aren't spoken to the normal consumers. First, is that most vet clinics do not take proper precaution when doing surgery. Most of the time they don't put the animal under normal anesthesia (sp?). They just knock them out with a sedative... The horrible thing is that they don't use painkillers. My advice is be cautious when taking your pet in. Most people are cautious about taking them to a vetinary medical school, but I can promise that they will get the best care there. You would be suprised how many animals die from routine procedures at normal vet clinics. I would invest the extra money and bring your pet into a medical center.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your pet. We just had to put down a beloved dog and my heart goes out to you.

Mossbank...thank you for the kind words. And I also offer my sympathy for your loss. When do the tears stop?

The tears stop for me when I wait for some time to go by and get another pet. There are hundreds of "guys" (as we call our pets) out there that need good homes. When God closes a door, he opens a window.

Imarquis...true words! and you are correct!
