Hi all! I haven't formally introduced myself so apologies there! I have been a watcher for a while on the board, have obtained loads of useful information, have responded to one or two posts but haven't started a thread of my own but now I'm getting desperate.
I'm from the East Bay of CA and I can't for the life of me find a good vet! I have a six year old Yorkie (Toby) and a six month old Golden (Lucky). Toby (thankfully) has never really had to go to the vet for anything major until recently when he had an abscessed anal gland and the vet (who was recommended to me by a friend) has always seemed okay. However, a few things didn't quite sit right with me after Toby's surgery. Then when I took Lucky in I believe he completely misdiagnosed an ear infection, then wanted me to pay to have him sedated to he could treat it at his clinic - but I was able to treat it at home. There were other things to like him trying to pick up my 50lb. Golden by the neck to put him on the table like he was a 2lb. pup, left me wondering, have you done this before!? Anyway - now I'm scrambling before something else happens to find a good if not GREAT vet. I've asked around at the dog park, friends and family, my groomer and have Yelped them all but none have gotten fab reviews. Are any of you from my area? Do any of you have a great vet who you just SWEAR by?!
