Well we took Snickers in to this clinic...... ......and it ended up being a bad experience. I was going to this clinic because it was inexpensive ($45 including shots and worming, exam etc) and they could get her in sooner than the normal clinic I use. So the guy is very persistant in calling. (four calls in 30 minutes) and he seemed nice enough. So he told me to bring in the $45 cash and $20 to $40 extra in case they found anything. Well I decided that I was only taking $45, for one thats all I had
and two because if she needed anything I was going to take her to my vet. I just didnt like the idea of being told it was $45 but then being told to bring extra just in case.
So we got there on time and the guy seemed nice enough. I told him that she had already been checked for worms and did not have any but he went ahead and wormed her anyway. Then he tells us she has ear mites and possible an inner ear infection. So he goes on and on about what they are going to do and then what we will have to pay for. Total came to $85, which obviously isent bad but when I said well I dont have that money he takes away a couple things saying we dont have to do them so the price came down to $70. But I said no we are not paying for that so he says he cant do the surgery then. So by then I was so upset we just left. He might be honest in what he was saying but his whole technique was terrible. He never looked me or my husband in the face and his hands shook the whole time. I was upset because she is in heat and I just wanted her taken care of but now I have to call my vet tomorrow about the ear mites and then reschedule her appt to get fixed with the other clinic and Ill probablly have to wait four more weeks.
My question is......when she went to the vet when we first got her they said she did not have mites. Now I know they can hatch later but can they cause in inner ear infection? I guess they can.......**sigh** SO he couldnt do the surgery if she had an infection? Is that true?
I was just so bummed.
So now I wait for tomorrow...........
