I am so angry right now I don't even have the words to explain it. 3 weeks ago Brody injured his rear leg. Thought it was his knee but it ended up being a Tarsas Fracture, ok fine the vet said that they would do a closed reduction because surgery with this type of injury leaves no better result then conservative measures FINE. I had to take him back every week for a bandage change and things were going very well. The third bandgage change that particular vet was not there, but the one that attended to him was one that I felt comfortable with and Loey had taken her dogs to him to so I felt ok about it. Well the last two days he had been off his feed, and I just attributed that to the fact that he has to be crated at all times except on leash potty breaks. I check his bandage daily and he had been leaving it alone to my surprise. This morning it was time for his 4th bandage change and xray to see where we were at. I noticed something red at the top of his leg and saw that he must have been picking at it over night. I mean he has white hair on his legs it is obvious if he injures the skin because you can see it. Well I get him to the vet and it was VERY BAD. He had lost circulation in that leg THE JERK vet who had put the last bandage on says to me OH WELL HE MUST HAVE GOT WRAPPED UP IN SOMETHING PRIOR TO THE INITIAL INJURY AND NOW IT IS SRUFACING What the hell!!! It was obvious to me the bandage must have been on TO TIGHT So now this JERK is trying to blame me!!!!!!!! Brody is staying at the clinic tonight and maybe even tomorrow. They are tyrying to get blood flow to his foot. I called to check to see how it was coming and they did say the foot was warming up so there is hope that at least he will not lose his leg. You could see on his leg where there was a presure sore right where the tape was on the bandage!!!!!!! Now the other vet left his toes out so I could regularly check to make sure they were not swollen, or blue, or cold. THIS JACK A$$ covered the entire leg and foot!!! When I asked about it he said OH IT NEEDS TO BE LIKE THIS FOR SUPPORT!!! Well I am not a vet and you are suppose to be able to trust them. This is not my regular vet becasue my vet was in the hospital so I had to go to this clinic. I just am so angry and HOW DARE HE TELL ME IT WAS MY FAULT I am just so tired of QUACKS!!!!!! I don't know what we are going to do next all I can do is pray that the circulation keeps improving becasue I just can not invision Brody as an amputee, all becasue some VET HAS A GOD COMPLEX!!!!!!
