Went to visit my parents over the weekend in Liverpool and since Neo needed his nails clipped booked him in with a vet there. While we were waiting to be seen a woman came in with a rabbit in cage- she used this cage to bash the front door open with- this was the vet!
When she got Neo out of the pet carrier don't know what she did but she got a little scratch- he's never scratched me. She made a fuss about that and then asked me to hold him while she clipped the nails. She bought out a massive nail clipper, did one nail then realised she should be using a smaller one. As she started with that Neo started to flinch and was whimpering- he's never made a sound before let alone one like that I was trying to calm him and she then she made him bleed. He was whimpering so much and she kept saying 'oh shush!' His poor lil heart was going at a million miles an hour. He was distressed all day and at one point in the evening he lay down flat in his play pen and started trembling Don't know why someone who seems to have no empathy with animals would become a vet! I wasn't upset that he bled i know that can happen with the most trained people, but the fact that she was so rough with him is what led to it. I'm so annoyed with her and will never take him there again!
