Whoa, I don't think you can assume animal mistreatment but what I think you can assume is a large break down in communication between the client, the staff and the vet(s). Maybe short cuts were made and an a x-ray was not taken, or another vet was doing the surgery and not the vet the client saw or the vet doing the surgery didn't look at the file. Anyway you look at it, this vet(s) and staff really sound like they are in it for the $$$ and not customer satisfaction or concern. It is also almost like a bait and switch and why I will always pay higher prices for a good vet if I have to. I know what I am getting upfront and they show a geniune concern for the pet. Now having said I don't think we can assume animal mistreatment, I sure wouldn't want those people around my pets if they treat humans this badly. It is almost like they have a "God-Like" mentality and they can do what they want because they are the doctors and they have all the answers. Doctors attitude will always reflect in the staff.
It is very sad but surveys have been done in the past with vets on why they entered into this vocation and a high and I mean high majority choose to be vets because of the amount of $$$ they can make. Very low numbers on why they became vets - because they loved animals.
It is also sad but every pet owner has to be well informed and take control at the vet, same as we do with our own doctors or the vet/doctor has all the control. We have to ask all sorts of questions and be ready to walk if we are not comfortable with how everything is being handled.
I feel bad for everyone who got involved with this vet office and as someone who lives in Denver I would hope you would publish who this vet office is so we can warn people away from them.
My fingers are crossed that at least this vet office knows how to do surgery and that Reese will be healed, given time.
