I took Judge to the vet today due to loose stool for past day and I was very displeased with my experience. We have been to this vet a few times for routine shots and I already sort of had my doubts.
First they charged me a total of $90 for a 10 minute appointment (well $60, $29 for medicine). It was $40 for the visit and $20 for fecal exam.
Second the assistant was very rude, you would have thought she'd never handled a puppy before. I did NOT like the tone of voice she used with my dog. She acted like he should understand her English and kept yelling (well, using too stern of a voice for my liking) at him to sit still. He's a puppy first of all, he gets very excited to meet new people. Second they were sticking a thermometer up his bottom, what dog would just magically sit still? And she just seemed so frustrated and exasperated for something that shouldn't have been a big deal. Anyway, I'm definitely going to find a new vet but Judge's health is still my first concern.
They said he just had a bacteria overgrowth (from maybe chewing something he shouldn't have) and gave him Metnidazole (hard to read spelling on bottle). Anyone with vet experience know if this sounds reasonable?
Thanks and sorry for rant!
