I was like, "So basically she will be in a cage until you guys leave, and ALONE all night untl you get here in the morning, right?" The vet was like "Well, Yeah... but someone stops buy at night to check on everybody".
Yep, Thanks, but no thanks. I think I can handle watching my own dog, and being able to take her to the E-clinic if necessary. Not just having her sit alone all night and have who knows what happen.
Crazy money hungry people.

Maybe you could work something out where you give him say 150 mls every 2 hrs for 3 treatments the next time he even vomits once? That way at least even if he doesn't eat he won't get dehydrated and make the nausea and GI issues worse... I don't know, obviously this all need to be run by a Vet; I'm not sure how sensitive he is but even if the needle hurts it has to be better if you do it and not someone else that stresses him to the max. I know SQ injections barely even phase Oscar at all, it seems like he hardly even notices them - though I've never done SQ fluids.
I think I mentioned this before, but maybe they could show you how to give the fluids on Daisy or maybe a staff member at the practice would volunteer one of their dogs That way you could learn without the stress of dealing with Mick....
He is keeping everything down so far... I've been giving him very tiny portions of food and small amounts of water every hour or so - he tolerates me and my nagging/prodding w/an amazing amount of patience.
