In answer to the other post here about Pet-co cutting off a piece of tongue when they groomed her dog.
When I had Snoodles spayed, she was missing a chunk of her tongue and he took out one of her permanent teeth. I never even noticed it for a while, as she was spayed at the same time, and I was busy keeping care of her---then, when I resumed brushing her teeth, I noticed her tongue and her permanent tooth was removed. I made an appointment with the same vet, as I was furious. I couldn't get him to admit anything, said she probably bit the piece off while under anesthesia, and as for the permanent tooth, she probably didn't have one there in the first place. I know she did have it, as I was brushing her teeth all the time. I never thought about going to a lawyer, just took it and was very up-set. I guess things do happen, but I was not, nor am I still very happy about it.
