Thanks for the info. We are definitely not going to see that vet again, and as you suggest, he was just very cold and clinical... not necessarily gentle, in fact rather than gently approaching the dog he basically just muscled him, although Snoop would have been a cooperative patient. He is the sweetest animal. When the "doctor"(I use that term loosely in his case) tried to check his underbelly, he tried to force him into position and the poor dog panicked and flipped onto his back. Today he is whining with certain movements, and he seems to be in pain. Moving stiffly, etc. Although all last evening after his visit he was his usual playful self, today he is like a completely different dog, and he seems scared to be feeling so bad. My mom says its okay to give him a children's aspirin or small dose of ibuprofen. I'm a little hesitant since I know that some medications such as aceteminophen are extremely toxic to their systems. We don't want to have to take him out for another visit(to another Dr. of course) unless it's really necessary as he is so sore. Please advise me of any suggestions! Thanks!
