But a question that immediately pops to mind is.
"Where are your years and years of experience and qualifications to state it was unneeded?"
Vets wouldn't be malicious in causing an animal more pain than it's in. My guess is the vet was probably looking for the cause of the illness. In an attempt to possibly give a cure or medication to prolong the life of your pet without having to put her down and without pain. In order to do that the vet would be needed to prod, and look closer into finding out whats wrong.

I hope you can speak to the vets and voice your concerns.

she told us within seconds, it needed putting down, it had broken its back, legs and jaw. we had decided it seconds to put it down. leave it be its in enough pain, put it out of its misery.

she then still poked and prodded the gecko, showing us over and over again. i wanted to see thats fine, but i actually had to tell her to stop. showing me that the jaw was broken by showing me it bend the wrong way is fine, once. but over and over and over again, repeatedldly (sp) isnt right. can you imagine how much pain she was in. me and graham had to actually basically tell her to stop and to actually put her down. she didnt even listen to me about what it was... which wound me up, i know its not much but she wouldnt listen to me.

anyway, i apoligise if i offended anyone... or ''caused any arguements'' but what happened i didnt feel was right. my vet, my normal vet would of picked her up, said sorry to us, given her to us to say goodbye, then taken her away to be putto sleep.

sorry again if i offeded anyone.
