Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2861117, member: 127"] Look many applications of the privacy laws are weird. We had our dog boarded at our local vet for a 2 week period about 30 years ago. We figured it was a good time for updating his shots and a checkup at the same time. Well he needed emergency surgery for cancer and we were 1200 miles away. It was back when long distance cost a lot. We called 3 times the 24 hours after surgery to check on him and since he was recovering well we decided to have my mother who was local, call and check on him at the vets every other day for us. The vet would not give out our dog’s condition to my mother for privacy reasons. OMG I couldn’t believe it but they were steadfast. I know that our dog wouldn’t have minded :rolleyes:. Thankfully our dog recovered. They said I needed to have preauthorized my mother to get the info. So yes it can be applied in the craziest situations. [/QUOTE]
