Well - at least you could write a short letter to the paper, stating the facts about declawing; that it's outlawed in Europe, and you would never ask that of your vet. AND that you are astounded at the number of vets in the area that do this, no questions asked.

NO worries on that letter - if the vets really care that much, they can write to the paper too.

Apropos of a thread in Dog House - has this vet ever had any complaints against her? Might be worth checking with the state vet board...might save a few more animals....

hugs!
