[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's an awful situation. Even though it's awful, they can't care for more patients than they can care for, and if they were maxed, they were maxed.

OP, if they had admitted your dog, would you have been okay if they left your dog to take an unnoticed turn for the worse and die in the corner, just so they could keep seeing more emergencies that kept coming through the door? Would you have said "oh, well," or would you have argued that they had first responsibility to the animals already under their care?[/quote]

I don’t understand what that means. Why can’t a vet come provide emergency care for a puppy? It’s an emergency [/quote]

And this exemplifies why you are the type of person who should not have bought a pandemic puppy. If a practice says they're full, it means they have as many patients as they can take care of with the staff in their facility. They can't fit your puppy, if they did, they wouldn't have enough staff to care for her. If there's not enough staff, something might get pissed, an animal may be severely injured or die.

I am so over pandemic pet owners who are in over their heads.[/quote]
Yeah, they should’ve just let those pets be put down in the shelters.[/quote]
Would that have been the end of the world? A standard practice for decades to control the animal population when there are limitations on who can care for a population? And there are limitations. There aren’t enough vets. More vets aren’t graduating. They are committing suicide at record numbers, so there is a limiting factor. Given a choice between more suicides of vets and putting dogs down, I know which I’d choose.

OP, your post is rude and does indeed imply that vets did something wrong. It’s really crude. I understand that part of what’s making vets’ careers awful are the pet owners; if I were you I would ask myself if I were one of those pet owners adding to the stress.[/quote]
