I'M SORRY GUESS I AM JUST USED TO GOOD VETS THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN SUGGESTED SPAYING A 15 YEAR OLD BITCH DOG TO AN ELDERLY WOMAN MOST THAN LIKELY KNOWING THAT SHE WOULD OPT FOR THE SURGERY . oh heck sorry wasn't yelling just forgot the cap locks were on . and as you can tell i am not very fond of the new age veteranary code of ethics .
I agree. I think that the vet is using my aunts emotions to make a buck instead of doing what's best for the dog. The vet that we use would not even consider doing a surgery like that to a small dog that old and in poor health. But then, our vet cares more about the quality of life the dog would have over the owners emotions. I don't blame my aunt for not being able to see the big picture because her emotions won't allow her to. But I think that this is where a good vet should step up and do what's right. They can't force her to put the dog down but they could refuse to do the surgery and explain to her why.
