Neapolitan Mastiff Discussions & Pictures / Re: PETRA WAS NOT GIVEN EUTH DRUGS
« on: December 14, 2005, 11:05:34 pm »
I am so sorry to read this & the other threads about Petra's & your last few days. This is just awful!
Check your state's gov't website for a Veterinary Board. Report this to them! Every (human) medical office is supposed to have a sign/notice about which Board to call with complaints, I can't imagine a vet office being any different. I would also get a different lawyer. This really sounds very illegal. You should have signed a consent that they gave you a copy of.... You should have gotten reciepts for any vet care given for whatever reason... If the state Vet Board isn't interested in your complaint (and even if they are), call your local TV station. Many of them have consumer advocate services and can help when no other services that are supposed to help this kind of gross negligence seem to care about it.
This is negligence. Is there a way to cite both vets for malpractice (I hate that word - but that is what this appears to be to me!) That other vet that said "no harm done" was just as much in the wrong as your original vet was!
Again, I'm so sorry this had to happen after all you & Petra have been through.
