So, I have a condition where my body produces more sweat than normal, I shower multiple times a day, wear deodorant and fragrance, but can still sometimes smell a ‘bit off’.
I go to a vets practice in a small town, and have done so for years, other vet practices in the town are crap. One day one of the receptionists turned to her colleague and whispered ‘he stinks’. I was the only male there at the time, and another customer who was stood next to me also heard this as when I looked at her she gave me a really awkward smile. I never said anything, paid by bill and left. (I am very ‘hot-headed and am suprised I didn’t say anything, but think it was due to the humilitation)
Today, as I was walking into the practice, one of the original vets who was there at the time of the ‘he stinks’ incident, turned to her colleague and said ‘he stinks’. I didn’t hear this, but I lip read, and it was pretty clear, as the one she said it too looked at me as though ‘oh shit, he realised what you said’ look.
This is really affecting me, as I can’t stop thinking about it and it is REALLY getting me down!!!!!!!!!!! I feel sick each time I think of it!!!
Do I complain and explain everything to the practice manager??? I am worried it may affect my dogs treatment at the vets, but the incident is going to make me ill!!!!!!! 😢

That was a mean thing of them to say. I'd be ready to calmly confront, next time you go in.

I'm assuming you've seen your gp about your condition.

I'm sure I read about Botox injections helping overactive sweat glands.

You have my sympathies op, that's not a nice way to be treated or condition you have.

Hi 2blueshoes. thanks for your comment...I appreciate it greatly!! I don’t feel they should get away with how they have, and are, making me feel. Without wanting to sound as though I’m feeling really sorry for myself, an I know as I guy, this isn’t goin to sound great, but what they’ve done, and are continuing to do makes me tearful, and makes me feel like piece of crap.
I have to go to the vets regularly as my dog is having regular treatment, and don’t want it to affect my dogs treatment in any way as she means everything to me, which was why I didn’t know whether to complain.
I have seen my gp in the past who has given me repeat prescription of medicated shower gel and deodorant.
My prob is that the vets I go to are the best practice around, and will mean considerable drive to an alternative practice if I do change, with how often my dog needs treatment
