My dog Toots had surgery on 3rd January for mammary cancer , she came through it no bother in fact she was like 2 year old , but on 4th March something happened and I thought she looked as though she had had something like a mini stroke , took her to my own vets and they gave her medication , unfortunately she didn't get any better and on Friday 6th March in the middle of the night she became very unwell and as it was 4 o clock in the morning I didn't want her to suffer for 5 hours before my vets opened so took her to Vets now , Had the most horrendous experience , I knew she would have to be put to sleep but thought it would be in nice calm way , When I got there the vet asked me what had happened and I told him he then said I will just be a couple of minutes I am going to put a canula in her , she went off with him as good as gold , he had her out there for about 10 minutes and I could hear her crying and whining , he then came back and said she didn't like to be shaved , that was not true as you could do anything you liked with this dog and she never complained , if fact she had blood taken from her a few days before and never murmured if fact the vet nurse said " isn't she good " when I said aren't they all like this " she said ." no they are not " I can only imagine how much he must have hurt her , with hindsight I wish I had gone into that room and asked what he was doing to her , but I was so distraught at having to put her to sleep I couldn't think straight , When he brought her back she was laid on the floor at my feet and that is how she died , he was a big man and could have easily put her up on to the table . I really thought that I was going to have therapy over this experience , I have lost loads of sleep and have not been able to get these images out of my mind , We have had to have a dog put to sleep before but it was nothing like this , we were able to stroke her good bye which I thought that how it always was when you lost a dear part of your family , I took this dog from the Dogs Trust and in the 5 years I had her she never put a paw wrong . I loved her so much and I know I gave her a lovely life . unfortunately I am now filled with guilt that I gave her an awful death , AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE ,
