yorkshirelad2 24 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 My bitch sliced under her hock while lamping last tue night took her to the vets because the hock was swollen an she was limping like hell. Vet had a look, well call it a look she glanced at it pis*ed about on computer for a bit then gave me some anti biotics. Now for the BEST PART the silly cow told me the wrong dose so i"ve been giving het 250mg a day when should of been 500mg. She has told me to pop back in wed (when the course finishes) what would you lads do? Anyone come up wi this prob before? I was gonna demand the next set of treatment to be free of charge as she messed up on the first lot. Quote Link to post
bryson 562 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 thats exactly what you should do mate you pay enough money at the vets so they should atleast give you the proper dosage Quote Link to post
bunnybasher69 56 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 It's a good thing she didn't over prescribe. I'd get a new vet and let her know you'll be spreading the word. Good luck with your bitch mate. 1 Quote Link to post

yorkshirelad2 24 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 i couldnt belive what i was hearing we where there what 5 mins if that she didnt put the dog on a table or anything didnt even hold his leg she just bent over had a quick look the prescribed me some antibiotics which she got wrong. Now shes saying when i go back she"ll gi me some stronger ones then she recons the infection could of spred to the bone.
