    Many years ago, my most cooperative dog cried out in pain when the vet was trying to draw blood. I tried to calm her and he threw me out of the examining room. I heard her cry out again as he completed the process, and tears are streaming down my face. I could barely drive home, I was so upset. Needless to say we never darkened the door of that veterinary clinic again. When I left that exam room, I should have taken her with me, I was just too stunned to think straight.

    OMG! I can't believe that vets could act like that! They should have their job because they love animals!

    Don't bring your pup back there. That's all I can say.

    damn, thats horrible... When Max was acting up, the vet asked me to hold his head, but he was too strong, so she called for help & a diff lady came in & put him in a head lock & told me to pet him & talk to him

    that would be shocking to have a vet abuse an animal like that and would make you not know what to say or do at first. but I think if a vet or anyone did that I would take my pet with me and I swear they would be reported... and I would have a hell of alot to say to them, they would think twice about abusing a pet before I was done with the matter. what a b******

    First, I would request the records, if there are any to speak of. Then, I would write him a note, on a nice pet type stationary, thanking him for making your vet selection all the much easier, and I would tell him specifically why. " I was not only shocked by your abusive actions towards my pet, but, ashamed that I didn't do something about it immediately. My choice of action is to NEVER bring any of my pets in to see you, and I will mention to everyone I can what I witnessed in this office".

    I don't mean that you ARE ashamed, or SHOULD be...I was just suggesting you put that in the letter...

    That is terrible, I also would switch vets.
    Throwing a dog against the wall is abuse and I
    would make a complaint.

    I have always had my suspicions that Rocky had
    a very bad experience at the vets when he was spayed.
    He always had liked going to the vets untill than, and
    their was one particular male vet tech. he hated
    after that, (who is no longer their.)
    It wasn't untill 3 years ago, that I told my vet that
    I wanted to be in the room for simple stuff like
    having blood drawn etc. He said it would be no problem,
    and I have been with them ever since.

    Rachel - threw you out of the room? HA!!! That'd be the time I'd take my dog, say screw you and leave. There's no way I'd trust the vet with my dog after it had already been crying.

    I've never been to a vet that wouldn't let me be there for simple things like shots, etc. Actually, the only time I've ever not been right there with the pet is when I've left them for spay/neuter surgeries. I've always been able to hold the dog and calm them while they do the shots. I wouldn't go to a vet that wouldn't let me.

    sue him...lol, that isn't right. If he is a vet he should have self control in what he is doing! Yeah I get frustrated when I can't get some dogs nails clipped, and can't get them bathed without them jumping out of the tub, but I would never be harsh on anyone dog!
