Ok, Pepper was spayed and had her tail cropped. Multiple complications arose including bleeding, vomiting and infection. All since Friday evening when I picked her up. She was put in a cage, where she had access to her tail. She removed stitches, was bleeding at vets. They placed a dressing comprised of only coban and silk tape. Nothing to pull the drainage away from the incisions (there were 3, not 1 as a flap), so the blood pooled in dressing, then continued dripping. The incision became infected (duh), no antibiotics on board, which is standard for any surgery. Puss was draining from her tail Sunday. I had to enlist help from my friend, a Certified Wound Care Nurse (thanks, Lagaytha Lewallen!) I "doctored" her myself all weekend, missing a day of work, and this am, the receptionist acted like an idiot, asking me why I thought her tail was infected. After she felt the full wrath, they took her back and are housing her (cameras only, that the Dr checks occasionally, allegedly), free of charge. It's 8th street Animal Hospital.
