Pastina is getting fixed...am I unreasonable?

She's going to a new vet for the first time. They're participating in the Friends of Animals Program.

They wanted me to just drop her off and leave. I instisted on meeting a vet. There are 2 vets, married to each other. One will be there in the morning, but her husband will be doing the surgery later that day.

I'm going to meet the wife vet. I could tell they thought I was nuts- just because I wanted to meet a vet before anyone does the surgery.

I just don't feel right about leaving her there without even meeting someone.

And, I am so sick to my stomach with worry about this!!!

You have every right to meet the vet. My FH wants our regular vet to do Oscar's surgery.

Absolutely not. Research your vet and make sure they have a tech in the room during the procedure. Make sure you're comfortable with the vet before leaving your baby with them.

After what happened to Sam a few weeks ago, I really believe people should look into their vets.

Our vet INSISTS that we stay for the pre-op exam before any procedure...not just the spaying/neutering.

I would not feel comfortable just dropping the dog & not talking to the vet...jmho
