| Don't you have to sign some kind of surgical consent to have your dog spayed? I remember having to sign off on a ton of things! Goodness, I certinaly hope she gets some kind of compensation for that HUGE screw-up. I would contact the board as well. |

| WHOA. NO WAY. If someone spayed Ellie without permission they would be in court. I would make the vet pay the amount she paid for her girl and even if she wasn't going to breed I would calculate the cost for all possible puppies and he could pay that too. I am MAD about this. I don't think they can hold her though. It might be against the law.

| Yes, you have to sign a paper of informed consent saying that you know what can happen under anesthesia.

| Your friend also needs to file a grievance. It is an official complaint against a vet. He/She could get their vet license suspended.

| She may have given permission accidently She needs to look at what she signed. She would have signed something giving him permission to put her under for the eyelid flip. It may have had a section to initial if you DID want her spayed. She may have accidently initialed that section. Or it may have had a section on spay/neuter which said to initial if you did NOT want her spayed which she did fill out.

| That is really stupid of them if they don't have it clearly indicated what you are signing and giving them permission. They can prob get sued for that too. That is no excuse for their ignorance, lack of concern and negligence. To the lawyer and the court. I would pay for the baby to be released just to get her out of there if need be and call the lawyer to let him know that they also withheld the dog for payment of the bill. It will all come out in the settlement if she has a case (I am not an attorney so I don't want to give the impression that I am)...but I would in NO WAY let this go. Tina |
