So, I brought my dog to get her teeth cleaned on Monday morning and was told I could call after 12 to see how she was doing. I called at 12:01 (she is my baby), they said to call after 2 because she was really groggy still. I called at 2:02, they said she was doing fine and that I could pick her up anytime between 4 and 7. Great. I go to pick her up and I had to actually go into the room with the cages because she was cowering in the back of the crate. As soon as she saw me she was trying to climb me to get her out of there (her crate was on the second row so she was already at chest height). They send her home with an antibiotic and a pain killer. Okay, A. she can't take that painkiller because she had problems w/it in the past. Thanks for checking/documenting her chart. And B. I found it kind of strange to have a painkiller. For crying out loud, it was a teeth cleaning. I didn't ask though because it was the first time she'd ever had it done, and they said to put her on soft food for a few days because she'd be sore. Whatever. Last night she's hanging out and her mouth's open so I checked to see her pretty teeth. WTF, she's missing one of her big back teeth. I checked again, yep no tooth there! UMMMM, why is my dog missing a tooth and why did no one tell me when I picked her up??!! So, after I got out of work this moring I called the vet. There is no documentation of having a tooth pulled (there was nothing on my paperwork either), but the girl says, "no, they normally don't put them on painkillers for a routine cleaning, just an antibiotic". They're going to have the person who did the "cleaning" call me Monday. They're actually having a meeting on Monday too because something similar happened with a discharge not too long ago!! If you had to pull her tooth, that's fine, but why the eff did no one tell me when I picked her up?? I'm pissed! This is a rant more than anything, but I will let you know what happens after they call me on Monday.
