Should I find a new vet? *trigger warning: abscess*
So, our regular vet we’ve seen for the last 7 years we recently brought our new rescue to him! He’s a tiny 4lb, 7 year old chihuahua, it was just for a check up and the vet recommended he get vaccinated for leptospira which is something my other chihuahua has been vaccinated with before and never had reactions with so I gave the go ahead and they did it right in front of us, in his right arm. He didn’t cry and seem to have no problems, or so it seemed, he had a small mass underneath which seem to get bigger and bigger until it was dollar coin sized and that was approximately week after the original injection, he wasn’t bearing weight and avoided us so we had scheduled a follow up with the vet but decided to take him to the ER instead and come to find out he has an abscess at his injection site and needed to have it cleaned out and sutured because it was so large. He’s on antibiotics, gabapentin and meloxicam and has to wear a cone, and it all cost about a little under 1000$, it was all sent to our regular vet and what upset me more than anything there was no follow up from the vet. No asking if he’s okay, or letting me know there gonna follow up with the vaccine distributor to make sure it wasn’t a bad batch, nothing. It makes me want to cancel everything and find a new vet.
