When you establish any animal as a new patient it is the vets responsibility to do an exam and take a detailed patient history. During that exam he does a physical, and he makes notes of the dogs breed, markings, they check for microchips, TATOOS, and do an oral exam as well as the ol' therm up the bum! All of this info goes into your pets FILE. A file that they add to each time you come to visit!
If your dog had that tattoo before that surgery, it would have been noted. And your Vet knows it!
I'd file charges just to make a point. Its one thing to make a mistake.. Its something else to deny it and not make amends. |
I was going to say the exact same things but wanted to read the rest of the thread before commenting! but yes...this is exactly what I think as well. The would/should have noted in the file if he had a tattoo beforehand. and if it is not in his file, then he obviously did not have it before going in. Now...with that being said...maybe the vet is suggesting you took him somewhere AFTER the neuter??? I don't know...either way...it is just WRONG on so many levels that they are denying it. I would NOT accept this. take it as far as you can. call your local news stations and tell them what happened and how you are being treated. I guarantee that as soon as word starts getting out....they will settle with you...somehow. just to avoid having their name smeared.
