[Dailydrool] Questioning vet policy

[Wen]

I agree with not letting your dog stay overnight.  Most cases, there is no one there to monitor them.  I can do that at home and they are more comfortable.  
If there was a reason to leave them, AND the vet was staffed at night, that is a different story.  
If something happens during the night, and O have them at home, the ER vet is the option for us.  
After surgeries, I usually sleep on the floor wherever they decide to lay down, so I can be near them and trust me,  my sleep is light....especially for these old bones on a hard floor!
So, I do know when they shift positions, or need to go out for their business, and I can help them.
Many folks do not realize the vet works for them, and they have to be the advocate for their dog.
I can feel myself wanting to go off on a tangent here.....but will not.
