We’ve taken our lab to the same vet for 9 years and on the 10th she had her first ear infection. The vet tech grabber her ear and she yelped in pain and gave a small nip to get away.He hasn't worsened! We had very runny diarrhea starting at about 2pm yesterday, had about 5 or 6 bouts (no accidents though) until he threw up bile this morning. That's when we called the vet
He's otherwise not ill-appearing. Has normal energy levels, eating and drinking still, normal urine and urinary frequency. We were just going to wait it out thinking it to be a stomach bug, but then he threw up.
We got a de-wormer, some gut antibiotics, an anti-nausea med, and new food for a few days high in probiotics, moisture, nutrients, and other healthy gut things.
The vet just didn't have great bedside manner. She concentrated more on him being crazy on the scale/assessment table (normal for him) than our actual ailment. Came in with a f***ing muzzle recommendation and "calming treatments". f*** off lady, our regular vet does just fine.
They tagged her for needing a muzzle.
I told them on the next visit she’s done with the muzzle, you can’t just grab an inflamed, infected part of an animal without them seeing you and not expect some sort of response.
