ON THAT NOTE....when I first got my boy, he was supposed to be at the 8 to 10 week stage...HE WAS NEUTERED. So I assume they neutered him in this whacked out fashion. You would think even if they did it the normal surgical way that he was too young at '8 to 10' weeks.

I ended up soon after bringing him home, emailing them to see if he was in fact neutered. They responded by saying yes, by Florida Law, they neuter all their boys. Oh and I also emailed them with concern for the diarrhea...they said to give him Kaopectade or Pepto and that he was just stressed.


I remembered, and then looked it up again, that this is the way that they castrate cattle and other large animals. I have never heard of it being seen as appropriate for a small animal.

I have never heard of it being done on anything smaller than large breed dogs, and it STILL turns my stomach!

I know this is an older thread but at work today (I work at a vet's office) I heard the telltale sound of a glider coming from a woman picking up her dog. She had a suggie in her shirt. I asked her where it came from and she said a trade show and she mentioned Perfect Pets.

We were talking about diets and I said how I mix up special stuff for them. I swear she smirked at me and said "oh no you don't have to feed that stuff. They make a chow mix and that is all you need with veggies."
HPW is NOT cat food.

I tried to refer her to here but it was like she was brainwashed by this Perfect Pets. She didn't seem interested. Hello? They are selling gliders as impulse purchases at a trade show!

Pretty disturbing frown

it makes me JUST as angry when I see this stuff today as it did back when I began this thread- brainwashing is EXACTLY what they do... that is why they tell you NEVER to get glider info off the internet or talk to people of glider forums... because they want you to listen to NO ONE BUT THEM!!

I was buying goodies at walmart for my kids this week. I have their stuff put on a diff sales slip from our food and cleaners and such for tax records. When I told the cashier that was for my pets she asked what kind. When I told her suggies she said they have 3..no wait 2 one died. they think mom didn't have enough nutrients to feed the baby and she died. The buy pellet stuff from teh pet store. Her mother bought the pair from Critters~r~us in Lewisburg. I am soooo mad! They give me dirty looks when I go in and they have moved the gliders so I can't check on them as easy now. Can we say something to HIDE?

Wow, you would maybe think that because you work in a vet's office that the lady might actually LISTEN to you? Ya think?

Hopefully she won't be bringing in her gliders for malnutrition next time. Well...hopefully she will end up checking out this site, you never know.
