[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dog ate 1/2 tube of diaper rash cream but had no symptoms of sickness - To be sure everything would be ok I called the vet in Arlington (Glebe Road near the Giant) and they told me (of course) he needed to come in to be checked "just in case." When I got there, they talked me in to pumping his stomach because and I quote, "he should be fine, but there is a small chance he will have serious complications that could be fatal." Against my gut feeling, I had the procedure done (for $600). I know, I am foolish, but I could never live with myself if my dog died from eating a freaking quarter tube of diaper rash cream. Even as I am writing this, I am feeling like a dumbass for letting them pump my dog's stomach. You put your faith in these people because you don't know better yourself. They will take you for a ride whenever they can.[/quote] This is my vet and I have never felt pressured to pay for extra procedures. They normally give me options and I choose what I think is best for my dog. I have gone there for years without any issues. Plus my dog LOVES them so I cannot go anywhere else. [/quote] you choose what is good for your pet? are you the vet? when they give you a list of 5 different antibodies and steroids for a skin infection you lose your mind and choose the wrong options. By the way the skin infection went away with antibacterial shampoo with correct drying and a little coconut oil. He was resistant to meds chosen via culture test you geniuses out there trying to pump dogs with steroids and antibodies so you can get the dog in the "VET CYCLE" More Roids and antibodies now - more infections later- more work to do by you geniuses that are supposadly smarter than MDs. I know a lot of MDs that wish they could be vets instead. YAAAAA RIGHT!@!!@ LOL [/quote]
