Since that second vet is your only witness to what happened, their professional opinion would go a long way toward determining what you can do about reporting/suing that first vet, IMO.
I think that is a good idea. I find it upsetting that the two surgeons at the ER didn't even need to see an ultrasound to know there was an obstruction. All they did was see the Xray from the first vet and feel his little stomach. Makes me so mad. I will get a hold of the surgeons and see what they say. And, I am also going to leave reviews on websites for this horrible vet. Thanks, everyone.
