[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you every spanked any animal for mis-behaving?

have you every done a bad procedure that lead to the animal's death but blamed it on the condition?

Spanking = never.  That would be appalling.  I consider my patients to be my client's babies, their kids (not everyone feels this way about their pets, but most pets *are* important family members).  If a pediatrician spanked my kid, I would be livid.  I respect my clients and I respect my patients.  I do this because I love people, and I love animals, and I love and appreciate the bond that they share.

Bad procedure = no.  If something goes wrong or unexpected, I am honest about it.  I had one patient die under anesthesia, and it was horrifying.  I did everything right, followed all of the highest standards of care.  It was totally unexpected and the cause was either underlying heart disease or a reaction to the anesthetic drugs.  Awful.  I kept the owner informed every step of the way.  That was years ago, and I've never gotten over it. [/quote]
