Re: Pet Meds on-line

Don't feel too awful, you're not alone. I had to have that done once for a dog I had, too. She was a poodle, and I had let her fur get into a terrible mess. I swore I'd never let it happen again, and also that I'd never again get a dog with long hair! Have kept both promises so far, too.

LOL. He had to have general anesthesia with a tube and everything,
something I will never put that little dog through again. I was so
ashamed of myself, and I couldn't believe they didn't explain it
thoroughly beforehand so that I understood it. They didn't seem to mind
doing it, and I guess it's somewhat routine for little aggressive dogs,
but that was it for us. 

Sigh. To think that for $60 less I could have had his entire problem
fixed...
