Wow, I would never go to a vet that disregarded my concerns like that. You have a right to your dogs health decisions.
When Jackson went into to get neutered, he had not yet had his rabies vaccine. I was late on it because I was so scared to get it, since he had a reaction to the lepto shot before. So anyways, when I took him in to get neutered, they informed me he would have to have rabies vaccine to get neutered first so they were going to give him the rabies vaccine while under and I was like... no way. I'm not letting him get the shot and possibly have a reaction. The techs were the ones that told me this so I told them of my concerns and the vet agreed with me... she said especially if he had a reaction before, she wasn't going to do it. So I brought him in 2 weeks after he got neutered to get his rabies vaccine and he did fine.
Personally, I would switch vets (and I did switch vets before). |
