Annoyed with new vet!!


As you all know Teddie has been on the Hills id wet for the last few weeks and is going great guns. I used her last tin last night so popped into the vets first thing this morning to get more, 'oh sorry we don't have any in stock!' Now they know that Teddies is on this food, I come in once a week to get it, so surely they should have it in stock. All they could give me was RC wet sensitivity which I wasn't happy about as we all know how the slightest thing can upset her tummy. So I'll just have to wait and see how things go. They are ordering the hills in for me

That is annoying!
Let's hope she's fine on the sensitivity, and it becomes a blessing in disguise.
You can buy the food outside the vet, and although initially is appears cheaper the shipping charge (unless you get about 10 dozen tins) soon eliminates the saving

Life's like that, sadly

Don't be annoyed with the vets Alex. they may have 10 Teddies on the food & the other 9 may have collected some yesterday, leaving them out of stock..or they may not keep it in stock.They can get it next day delivery through NVS..

PM on way.

Hope you manage to get some food soon Alex, especially since Teddie is so good on it. Have you tried any other vets in the area?

Hopefully your vet will get a new stock in the next day or two Alex

Meanwhile, I hope Teddie manages to stomach the RC sensitivity ok......

Re: Annoyed with new vet!!


They are ordering some in for me for tomorrow, but I'm not looking forward to the rest of today. I gave her half the tray (it's one tray per day) for her breakfast, and 5 mins ago I was sitting in the living room, no tv or anything on, I was cross stitching, and I heard this noise. Teddie was 10 feet away from me and it was her tummy 'hissing'!! so I don't think this will help matters any.

No fish I'm afraid, but I'll see how her toilet is when she goes and nip up to Asda if it's bad and get her some for her tea!

Re: Annoyed with new vet!!


Oh dear Alex, that rumbling sounds ominous I hope Teddie can weather the diet change.

I have similar problems with Sebastian's special formula; nobody holds in it stock so I need to allow an extra day or 2 even after collecting the prescription Darned nuisance!
