Goodness sakes - what a story! Aside from the fact that the person in charge of the Rottie - wasn't in charge as she should have been.....the vet tech simply used extremely bad judgement in grabbing Maya Linn's carrier to use as a weapon.

Yes, a letter to the vet suggesting some type of procedure to follow when these things happen would be excellent. The vet tech needs more training in common sense as well.

My vet has a pet shop in addition to his office and one day a month they offer vaccinations at a reduced rate. I brought Rascal in his carrier and it was crowded with a line of people and pets. A Rottie walked right up to Rascal's carrier and stuck his nose into it. The owner could have cared less.

When it was my turn and I opened the carrier on the table - pee was everywhere - Rascal had soaked himself. The vet who was administering the shots was disgusted with me!! I grabbed paper towels and cleaned up as best as I could. I was upset though, so I said outloud "well, if the woman with the Rottie had control of her dog - then my cat would not have peed all over the place."

I hope that Maya isn't scarred and your next trip to the vets won't be a trauma for her.

I am sorry you had to go through this though - it had to have scarred you as well.
