I'm feeling a little angry with my vet and also stupid on my own part...and wanted to share this with others.
Yesterday I called my vet to make an appointment for Molly & Max to have their lyme vaccine since spring is on it's way and lyme disease is an issue in Maine. The receptionist said that Molly & Max already had one injection and they needed their second. (booster) I was sure that this was wrong... I did not remember ever asking for them to have the injection.
We went to the vet today and I asked WHEN did they have their first injection? It was when they were spayed & neutered in February and I was supposed to come back with them for a booster in 2-4 weeks, but the vet NEVER told me about it!!!!! What gets me angry is that I was at the vet's office many times during that period for other issues and they never mentioned needing another booster. So, we had to begin the series again.
So, I wasted another $50 to have the injections given again and this time made an appointment for the booster. I know it's not just my vet's mistake, I should have a better understanding of what is being given / done to the dogs at all times. I was just a nervous wreck when I picked my babies up from being spayed & neutered that I didn't think to go through the invoice line by line. I expected the vet to instruct me on what needed to be done next...they had me make an appointment for Molly's stitches to come out...they should have made the appointment for the booster, in my opinion!
