I called CDFA at (800)FERRETW, and they were very helpful in finding a good vet for my little ones. I told her of my awful experience at Pet Metro, Pasadena. - The moment We (me and Dwesil) entered Pet Metro, Dwesil's tail fluffed out. I went to the woman behind the counter and informed her of my appointment. I also wanted to comferm the use of DEAD rabies shots. It was then the doctor told me some halfbrain concoction about how it was illegal for him to administer "rabies" shots to "undomesticated" animals. I knew at this point something was wrong. Dwesil would NOT stay still. I had an urge to just say goodbye and leave (which I should have done) but was some how he comvinced me to stay so he could administer a distemper shot, for Dwesil's well being I agreed. I started to get the feeling that maybe I was stepping into a trap. I had a vision of the F&G comming in and taking away my little one. Dwesil's tail fluffed out almost as wide as his body, when I took him into a small white cold room. I think I was probably shaking more than he was. The doctor came in and in fear of his life made me hold the savage creature while he administered the shot. I told him Dwesil dos not bite but...I still had to hold him. Before we got a chance to escape this dungon, the doctor thought it was important for him to inform me that it was also illegal for him to opperate on Dwesil incase he got sick. I was very upset, and excliamed to Dwesil as we got into the car, "Dont worry little guy...we will never come here again." Three months later I recieved to a notice for Dwesil's follow-up shot. The note found a comfortable home in the trash. Well when I called CDFA, they told me that it was not illegal to administer rabie shot nor opperate on them. Boy, was I relieved. They also found me a good doctor, who my kids like. The moral of the story if your baby does not like someone, he probably has a good reason not too. Sorry so long- A note to N. Ca. In the CDFA publication they had an article thanking a doctor for outstanding dedication. Dr. Gandolfi At castro Valley Companion Animal Hospital, 2509 Lessley Ave. Castro Valley Ca. 94546 (510)582-6311 -Rick-ABS pipe is very expensive but the joy of watching them run through them is well worth it. Plus it was the only pipes available,that had many different curved connectors. [Posted in FML issue 1107]
