Scenario 1 - Few years ago, I was introduced to a gentleman “vet”. Unbeknownst to me, he was a perfect quack who has just been around for so long and breeds dogs. Used to the drugs and injections taken, had a “sweet-mouth” and was all set. He nearly killed off my pet before I made the required changes. This was my first baptism into pet ownership.
Scenario 2 - I wanted my Veterinary doctor to see my dog, Tasha was a 1(one) year old rottweiler who had a bad illness. That day was on a public holiday cm weekend. Most people travel to see their extended relatives wherever – (Villages mostly). I couldn’t get the much-desired services I needed then. I almost lost this pet but for some interventions.
Scenario 3(Honorable mention) – I love my pet so much, so this is quite emotional. I had procured the dog, had grown up and then I realized it wasn’t a full breed I wanted and paid heavily for. I realised this way too late into the year and the situation was beyond return.
