I only recently started having farm pets and am extremely sensitive and emotional when it comes to my chickens and ducks ans they are my pets. I currently am registered at another vet for my dogs, however they do not do farm services. I phones Dundas vet with a request that some would perhaps not have made the time for. And were so amazing with me. I came in with a chick with one splay leg that I couldn't correct myself, some people would laugh at me for bringing in a chick, but they didn't. When I sadly learned that the chick was likely in pain and untreatable, I took their advice and had to say goodbye. I was a mess, sobbing in the exam room, then trying to hold it together while paying at the counter. in that moment, $ wasn't something I thought too much about, and was shocked at how low the cost was to examine and so gently euthanize sweet little Tom Bombardil (I'm giggling a bit now but not at the time lol). They never made me feel silly and staff members comforted me while saying that all animals can be pets and we all have our own relationship with them. Big, small, bird, dog, cat. Despite them being considered livestock by most. I am plant based so being told all creatures are equal was so comforting. The whole office shared their condolences as I sloppily spilled tears all over the counter haha. All of this to say, thank you for taking someone who isn't even one of your patients, and squeezing them into an already packed schedule. To be there to care for a week old chick and their caregiver who, was invested in their life, regardless of what their "value" was and helping me he make the tough decision to ensure he wasn't in pin. they made it feel so important. Like he was just as special as every beloved family pet. And I'm so grateful. read more
