So, it was time for Gordon (9 year old male Quaker) to get his yearly vet check. Actually, it was overtime, but who's counting?
So, the vet comes in, and states that the usual life span for these guys is ten years, so Gordon is an "elder bird". She suggests he have blood work done. I okay it, as long as I don't have watch. They do it, and tuck him into his travel box. I pay and leave. In the parking lot I check my phone to confirm that Quakers average life span is more than 10 years.
When I get him home, his face is covered in blood! Cleaned him up, and looked to make certain he wasn't still bleeding.
Gordon stopped talking for almost 4 months. He is just now getting back to his pre-visit ways.
I am very disinclined to return to that vet.
Any thoughts?
