Crystal butterfly
Warren Veteran
Crystal went down for her dental today, i was rung at work at 1pm and told that Crystal was fine and that i could pick her up i said i couldnt becaus ei was at work and that id be straight there to get her at 4 when i finished.
went in to get her i spoke with the vet nurse asked about the abcess and the vet nurse said that there wasnt one which is surprising from the state of her mouth!
anyway the vet came out and started being nasty to me which ended in an arguement and tears from me heres how it went...
vet- do you even feed your rabbits
me- of course i do
vet- when
me- every day
vet- its hard to believe because crystal is so famished! she jus gobbled down 3 plates of food
me- shes obviously just being abit of apig because shewas fed this morning before she came down
vet- shes skin and bones i cant believe shes actually eaten anything
me- shes not skin and bones the other day when i had her down you even commented on what a good size she was why change your mind now?
vet- no rabbit we've ever had in here has ever eaten so much she was famished!
me- shes not famished at all shes obviously just been greedy.
vet- her mouth was a state i cant believe she was actually still eating with teeth like that.
me- check your records ive had Crystal down every 3 weeks for teeth checks and every time ive been sent away and told that they've been fine, so i havent left her to suffer at all!
i ended upin tears and even checked Crystal when i got homeandi cant feel her spine or anything ive seen skin and bones and Crystals not that
I just cant believe my own vet is accusing me of neglect i feed my rabbits before i feed myself, i guess im now expecting a visit from the RSPCA but i dont care ive got nothing to hide, they all live in 6ft hutches with runs attached and get out in the run/free range of teh garden most days, are fed a good diet... yes i may not be the perfect owner but my rabbits are better looked after then some!
it surprises me that they even operated on an animal that was 'skin and bones' my mum thinks i should make a complaint to the vet council or what ever you call it for the accusations and the fact i was never prescribed any pain relief or any antibiotics for the infection in her mouth.
oh yeah i nearly forgot the above convo between em and my vet happened in the waiting area infront of 3 people waiting to be seen :roll: she could have at least pulle dme into the consultation room :roll:
