PJ's Mom, that is what I'm talking about. I really wish more vets would be more detailed like that. In most cases, at least in every single vet that I've ever gone to over the years(That has been 5 different vets in 3 states, so I know that's not a large amount), they don't talk about the alternatives of declawing. If the customer asks for it, that's what they get, no question. I don't feel that it's my place as a vet tech to disagree with the vet in front of the customer about that issue.
Instead of telling the selfish owner that it's best to save the dog's life by spaying her, the pyometra gets treated to try and open it up for breeding. I feel so bad for that poor dog. She is so thin, sick and sad, but has to suffer because the owner wants to breed her. Personally, that definitely doesn't make for a responsible breeder. A breeder should be concerned about their animals first, which is why they want to breed them, but sadly in this case it isn't. They paid a lot of money for the dog just for breeding. I would have told that owner, in order to save the dog's life, it needs to be spayed...
