A little prayer for Vela's Soda

[dukedogsmom]

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.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this Vela. This is why I'm glad my vets send dogs/cats home the same day. I'm sure little Soda will be ok. I know that doesn't help your worry and you are not overreacting, I would be furious that they didn't at least call. I will keep Soda and you in my thoughts and prayers tonight. {{{hugs}}}

I absolutely do not think you are over reacting. I would be a mess too. That is NOT okay!!! I would probably be on the door step first thing in the morning. In my house our animals ARE our "kids". While I am sure Soda is fine, I can understand your anger and worry. It's the not knowing that is the worst.
Hang in there.

Poor you and poor Soda. I'd be really frustrated too. When Keva was spayed the vet said they'd call when she was out of surgery, but they didn't call me either. Luckily though they didn't require an overnight stay or anything so I was able to call later and pick her up before they closed. I'm sure Soda is just fine, I'll be looking forward to seeing an update tomorrow when you get her home!

[CathyBogart]

WHAT?! They can't take five minutes after she's recovered from anesthesia to CALL YOU!? That is beyond absurd. I would be absolutely fuming.

Saying another prayer for Soda, & for you. That's just plain unprofessional.

I would break in,,,,or at least feel like it.

I am just here this morning to check for an update and mad that they would not follow up with you in the evening. I was thinking the same as Cyber-sibes, downright unprofessional.
