33. Well, that's where I went today and where I go has been very strict.

A vet tech who worked there was helping to foster my dog who was originally a "pet shop rescue." And since they already knew him, I continued going there even though it's a much longer trip for me now. And they were the ones who took the dog and had me wait in my car at the beginning of the pandemic - and though owners are allowed in the building now, we're not allowed in exam rooms, a masked vet tech comes out to take the pet, and everyone is masked and maintains distancing. I'm in New York, if that makes a difference.

Thanks! He is crate-bound, but able to walk without the help of a sling. Gore1FL Nov 2021 #37

Oh, I am so sorry! That had to be extremely stressful! For both of you... Rhiannon12866 Nov 2021 #28

Our vet still isn't letting any humans other than employees into the hospital. hunter Nov 2021 #30

That's the way it was here until recently. And we're still asked to call before coming in Rhiannon12866 Nov 2021 #34

Calling takes too long. Lucky Luciano Nov 2021 #12
