Back to the Vet We Go!

I woke up this morning a wee bit hungover... we all had a BLAST last night, lots of fun indeed! I love hangin out with Dr. W, he's a lot of fun...

This morning I woke up, walked the babies and fed them and was going to change the bubba's wrap. I noticed a very blood soaked gauze pad sticking out of the wrap and was like oh crap! This time there were stiches hanging out with an open hole. GEEBUS!

Dr. W was awake so I had him look at it, he said I should take him to the vet. Soooo off we went to the emergency vet...

They looked at him and said yup, he needs staples. Apparently they don't do sutures there, they just use staples. They took the bubba to the back and took care of him. He's in good spirits today the champ!

I got to talk to my friend though who I used to work with, so that was nice. It's always nice to be greeted by someone ya know! She sat with me in the room for awhile and brought both Kraymer and I water...

Soooo $139 later Kraymer should be ok. I trust the place I took him to this time and I think it will be the end of the bleeding. I also think I will call the reg vet on Monday to ask for reimbursement... it's not like Kraymer scratched the sutures out, it was covered the whole time.

It's been an interesting morning!

I can't believe it either. I know you and Kraymer have both gone through a lot.

Unbelievable! They should definitely give you your money back!!

You better call them. Seriously. And AFTER you get your money back tell them you won't be going there anymore...

Ugh. I'm so glad you took him to have it fixed. I would have a talk with the vet for sure.

Incredible...absolutely incredible...sorry to hear about this...

Poor Kraymer and poor Kristy have to go through all the unnecessary trauma. I would have to write a letter and let that vet know how dissatisfied you were and you were going to tell everybody you know what a bad experience you had. I can express my self much better in a letter cause if I try to talk when I am angry my brain gets ahead of my mouth and I lose my temper. Have you thought about sending a letter to the Better Business Bureau also?

good grief! poor kraymer! I know you will be raising heck with that vet! I am just glad kraymer will be fine even though they botched it all.

Poor Bubba! You are taking great care of him. I wonder if you should make official complaints about that vet.
comment by sexysadie on Apr 6, 2008 5:20 PM ()
Well, my gosh! Can't these guy get their act together and take care of our Kraymer??? I am so glad that you feel confident that he will be find now. I don't blame you at all; you do deserve a reimbursement!

I'd ask for it as well. When I lost Sammy, I demanded the money back on the tests they performed and got most of it. I was so angry. Kiss him for me, Kristy.

That poor boy!

I would also ask for my $$ back! - Sorry you had to go through all that - What should have been relatively simple.. turned into a nightmare
