I'm not really sure where I should put this post.. this seemed like the best spot considering it's not really "health" but yet it is. But it's here, so I guess I should get on with what I'm saying, huh?
I called for an appointment to have 8 month old Oliver neutered. Because he is a kitten, they said he had to stay overnight and I asked politely if I could argue with that.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't understand why I should leave my baby boy there for almost 12 hours, in a strange place to him, alone with nobody there to hear him cry if something hurts or he's uncomfortable. I told them that I wanted to take him home that night and they finally agreed that if nothing is wrong I can take him home. This bothered me... if there is something wrong, they are just going to leave him there, lock up & go home?
They are going to get the same arguement from me in a month when it's my female's turn to go in. There is no way I will go without her for a night.
I understand they have to be kept quiet and all that, but I think I can find a soft corner in my bedroom with a closed door to keep them safe & quiet while they rest somewhere where they are comfortable!
Am I wrong with arguing with the vet? Am I just overprotective? Help! Oliver is scheduled for Monday morning.. they promised me they would make him 1st in surgery so he has almost 12 hours of rest before I bring him home, but they won't guarentee I can bring him home if something is wrong.
