Gosh, it's sad when business gets in the way of treating a pet, isn't it? I mean, I could understand if she said she didn't "endorse," say, aromatherapy or acupuncture, if she doesn't believe in that kind of stuff (even though it's valid) but just these little (harmless!) products that make life easier, because the office doesn't actually sell them? That's nuts. Since when did vets' offices become mini-pet stores anyway? I know ours sells one little kiosk full of products plus the prescription foods and stuff, but I don't think they'd ever not tell me about some little thing that would make taking care of our cats easier. I'm glad you got good results with the pill pockets and the wipes, despite your vet's lack of helpfulness!

Well, Friday, I went and got the "Pill Pockets". (Chicken Flavored, my cats hate seafood, go figure), Went home, wrapped the Benedryl in it, annnnnd......WA LA! Down it went! I was SO happy!!! The lady at the pet store also told me about these bath wipes so I got a pack of those. They're like baby wipes, and you just rub them down, and it helps to moisturize their skin, and his coat is so soft! I just wipe him down once a day, (which he LOVES by the way). Also, they have aloe, so that helps with his scratching. Amazingly enough, the lady at the pet store was more helpful than the vet! When I got home, and saw how everything worked, I IMMEDIATELY got on the phone with the vet and ripped her a new one. I wanted to know why she hadn't told me about these products especially since I voiced to her MANY times how bad the pilling was going, and how bad his skin was. Hell, she SAW it! Her response? We don't endorse other products than what we sell here. Well I proceeded to tell her that when she became a vet she took an oath to care for an ailing animal NO MATTER WHAT, and even though they don't "endorse" those products, she STILL could have suggested them. I told her if it was THAT big of a deal maybe THEY should start getting wipes, and pill pockets there to "ENDORSE" so that other people and their animals don't have to go through what we've been. I told her that I would NEVER be coming back to her, and I WOULD be filing a report with the better business bureau, and ANYONE who asks me for a vet, I will them to go ANYWHERE but there. I was HOT!!!! Thanks again guys! Beckie This electronic mail transmission and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged. They should be read or retained only by the intended recipient.
