RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 01/24/18 > Incompetence abounds in my world…..
@sultnpapper Oh my goodness. Firstly, I am so sorry for your loss :( As a child we had a pair of guinea pigs who grew up together and sadly a short time after the female died, the male did from pining away and not wanting to eat. However in reading this, it could've been because of his teeth too.
As for the first vet, they clearly have no clue when it comes to treating small pets and should've directed you to an exotic vet in the first place especially when they couldn't even sex poor Percy. I hope that you do write a letter of compliant and post a review warning others not to take small pets there.
As a mum I've had deal with the passing of various pets and it's never easy on the children or us as adults, but as you know Blondie will get over it. It will take time, many tears and lots of hugs. Maybe some consolation is that Mrs. Knibbles and Percy are running around together again.
Thanks @redwellies, this is Blondie's second pet death experience she lost the bird a couple years ago not that it makes it any easier, but we will be able to judge how she is doing with it based on the first experience as we go forward. I have never posted a bad review online for anything, but that maybe a consideration. I will write a letter to the State Board of Examiners asking them to review this vet. The doctor evidently is not willing to pass up an examination fee when clearly they have to know they are out of their realm of competence with these animals.
