A little prayer for Vela's Soda

Wishing you well Soda!

I just called and at 4:45 pm my time they havent DONE her surgery yet. I'm really upset at the moment and I won't even know if she's okay until tomorrow if they happen to forget to call me back once they turn off their office phones, I can't all them =( They said they will still do it today and won't leave her until they are sure she wakes up all the way but that somehow doesn't make me feel any better at ALL.

OH, I hate to hear that kind of news. So sorry that you have to go through that, Vela. I've said a prayer for you and Soda both. She's going to be just fine. Try not to worry too much, mom. I know that is easier said than done.

If they are going to leave her alone I would feel better taking her home. I am sure she will be fine but that would tick me off too.

Poor Soda, going all day with an empty belly, in a vets office in a yucky cage all alone. Shame, shame on you vet for not doing her surgery first thing!! You deserve a doggy bite right on the butt.

I would be quite furious and annoyed myself! Hugs and Kisses to you Soda Sweetie pie.

Oh dear. I'd be highly angry right now. And whoever heard of a vet not having an answering service? I can't believe they just turn off their phones. After this is over, can you find a better vet, one that won't leave you wondering like that and you can communicate with after hours? I'm sorry something that should have been simple is turning out so complicated. Poor Soda. I know you must feel horrible. Try not to, it's not your fault.

Well it's 9 p.m., I know nothing about my baby. I have NO idea what is going on with her. I am so furious, upset, anxious, near tears. I can't even think straight. I have never had this happen at this vet, but it is high time to find a new one. I don't even have words to express how I feel. I have to spend all night not even knowing if they are watching her or taking care of her or if she's okay. I am just sick. I know some might think im overreacting but this is my baby, she's just like my kid, I wouldn't leave my kid alone in a hospital with strangers and not even know if they woke up from surgery.

So glad she's home and doing well! I'm glad you "informed" your vet of your feelings. I hope you can find a much better vet for any future needs.

Glad little Soda is home and doing well. I saw this thread when it first started but hadn't gotten a chance to reply, sorry about that. But she was in my thoughts.

I'm sure she's a bouncing baby Boxer and doesn't even notice the zipper they put in!
