You can report them to the RCVS, the professions governing body if they were really that bad!

RCVS Online / Veterinary Surgeons / Complaints procedure

Did you confront her at the time? She might have been able to explain whatever it was you thought was so shocking.

I concur.... speak to the vet, ask why she did what she did ....... some procedures can appear brutal but these people have undergone 7 years of hard training before qualifying and have learned how to deal with things in the best way for the animal.... perhaps you mistook a no nonsence approach for roughness ?

thank you everyone, i was crying my eyes out at the time so couldnt have a ''proper'' chat with her. she was just doign things that werent needed, we needed somthing putting down, but insted she decided to poke it, and play with it, even though we said, just put her down and put her to sleep. Its hard to explain, but there was no need to put her through more pain than she needed. she also refused to listen to what it was, and said bassically i was wrong with the species. which i wasnt.....
its hard to explain, but i know that my normal vet , in the circumstances, would of just left the poor gecko to it, and put it to sleep, no need to prod, poke etc it, until it gapes looses its tail, and it was awful, unneeeded.
