I think some of us on here would have asked did they do an xray before doing and endoscopy that may have saved this dog's life

Still at this one as well. Sheesh. This has been discussed and explained ad nauseum., but you still think the vet was at fault.

Xrays are not routine or diagnostic when not indicated. Do tell what symptoms she had in the beginning that indicated an xray should be done? You really do work overtime trying to slam the veterinary profession.

My concern is that naive people will see this stuff and be afraid to go to a vet. It is one thing to help people learn how to educate themselves and communicate with their vets and yet another to constantly bad mouth every single vet.
